Mailbox Permission Rights
Mailbox users are able to access and perform specific functions based on the service or adapter component being used and the rights that are permitted. The assigned rights are at the mailbox level, and apply to all messages in the mailbox.
Each right is mapped to a specific function:
- Read - Allows users to get messages from a mailbox.
- Write - Allows users to put messages into a mailbox.
- View - Allows users to list mailboxes or messages.
- Execute - Allows users to access a mailbox.
- Delete - Allows users to delete messages from a mailbox.
Note: By default, users are assigned all rights.
Rights and Functions
Components interact with mailboxes on behalf of the user. To perform the functions, the user must have the indicated right and permission. If the component tries to perform the function without the appropriate right and permission, the operation will fail.
