Hi,

is it possible to use an AD-Group for Folder and Mailbox Permissions?

Best Regards

@cpzengel yes. in fact groups are by default “security groups” which can be used to assign permission.

good news. and where do i create those? ad/ucs/kopano?

you create these groups where you manage your users.

If you are using the db plugin and creating your users with kopano-cli (or kopano-admin), then you also use this to create groups.
If you are using an ldap backend (e.g. when using ActiveDirectory or on Univention) then you are also managing your groups in there.
In the case of UCS your simply create group from their web ui and then in the group details mark it as a “Kopano group”.
