Struggling with public Folders & access rights

jmaitra

Moin,

2 years ago I created a public Folder using the following command

docker compose exec dovecot-mailcow doveadm acl set -A “Public/MyFolder” “authenticated” lookup read write write-seen write-deleted insert post delete expunge create

The folder still exists and anybody has access to it. As the size of my mail-environment is growing i want to revoke this global access and grant access to this public Folder only for few of my users.

How do I delete this public access and grant only to a small group of 11 users ?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Best regards
Jens

Thank you for replying. I read the documentation carefully and achieved that i will be able to grant and revoke access to folders. Unfortunately I described only a small part of my problem. The public folder I want to restrict access has many subfolders (about 1500 subfolders on several hierarchical levels).

How can I restrict the acesss of this folder structure for several users without having restrict the access rights for each subfolder ?

Best regards Jens

To be honest, for such an amount of folders you should think of migrating that to a proper document management system like Sharepoint, Huddle, Confluence, Nextcloud, OnlyOffice Docs etc.
