5.5 Shared and public folders
5.5.1 Sharing and mapping of folders
Kerio MailServer enables creating of shared folders and their mapping. A shared folder is any
folder of any user who has decided to share it with other users (or groups of users) and grant
specific rights to them. In this case, mapping is subscription of shared folders by users with
appropriate rights.
Here is an example for better understanding of the issue:
There are two invoice clerks in a company. Both accept orders by email, so they use special
email folders for these orders. If any of them goes for vacations or has to stay at home for
any reasons, the other one needs to access her order folders.
The clerks both need rights to access the work folders of each other. This can be enabled by
sharing of the folders. They simply select folders to share and set access rights for the other
user (the other clerk).
If the user rights are set correctly, we can start the mapping. Mapping is always performed by
the user with whom the particular folder was shared. The user simply opens a corresponding
dialog in MS Outlook where she specifies her name. The shared folder then appears in the
user’s folder tree.
It only depends on the access rights assigned to the folder. Mapped folders can be available:
• for reading only,
• for reading and writing,
• for administration purposes.
