Overview

The OWA Permissions Control is a web application that can be incorporated into Outlook Web Access to provide an interface for viewing and modifying exchange folder permissions.

Currently, Outlook Web Access does not provide an interface for accessing folder permissions. The Permissions control allows you to view and alter permissions in both personal Mailbox folders and Exchange Public Folders for which you have the appropriate access rights.

The application is comprised of HTML pages that communicate with the Exchange server via the (client-side) WebDAV protocol – the same way that standard Outlook Web Access pages work. In addition, these HTML pages retrieve user information from Active Directory via ASP (server-side) LDAP queries.

Features

• View, Add, Modify exchange folder permissions
• Change Personnel and Public folder permissions
• User Lookup

Features Not Yet Implemented

• Ability to allocate custom permissions
• Ability to propagate folder permissions to subfolders (Note: this is not a standard feature of Outlook, but may be incorporated into future releases of the OWA Permissions control)

Requirements

• Exchange 2000 Server
• Windows 2000 Server
• Outlook Web Access

Important Notes

• It is not yet known whether the application can be run in a front-end / back-end Exchange environment, or in an Exchange 2000 environment without the Windows 2000 Server infrastructure.
• It is not yet know if the application will work with Windows 2003 Server
