Recursive doveadm acl add for shared mailbox
Hello,
I have a shared mailbox (e.g. "info@example.org") and want to give a new user (e.g. "john.doe@example.org") access.
I can use: doveadm acl add -u info@example.org INBOX user=john.doe@example.org create delete expunge insert lookup post read write write-deleted write-seen
Unfortunately, the shared mailbox contains several nested folders. And the new user needs to access these, too.
So I probably had to use doveadm acl add -u info@example.org .INBOX.SubfolderXY user=john.doe@example.org create delete expunge insert lookup post read write write-deleted write-seen ... for each and every subfolder.
Is there a way to give permissions recursively? INBOX and all (sub-)subfolders?
And, by the way, do I have to use doveadm acl recalc -u info@example.org OR doveadm acl recalc -u john.doe@example.org after that? At the moment I always do both.
Thank you! Reg
Please see https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/acl/#acl-inheritance-and-de...
Thank you for your quick response!
I've already read that page multiple times but I'm still not sure what I could do.
If doveadm has no such feature, one could think about writing a shell script that queries all Maildir (sub)folders and runs the doveadm acl add for each entry. But I guess someone else must have had this task before me, so I hoped there is a "standard approach".
And, one more question: Is "doveadm acl recalc -u" for the shared mailbox or for the single user that is given access or must it be run for both?
