How do I create a public folder?

Customers subscribed to Business Class Email & Calendaring have access to a fully-featured control panel. Follow the step-by-step process below to create a new public folder:

2. Enter the username and password for the administrative user account and click Login.
3. Click Hosting across the top navigation bar.
4. Click Exchange in the left navigation.
5. Click Public Folders in the left navigation.
6. Click the Add New Public Folder button in the right window pane.
7. Complete the requested information:
   
   
• Public folder name: the name of the folder
• Items Type: the type of items stored in the folder
• Size limit: the amount of disk space allowed for the folder
• Default role: choose the role you would like to grant to ALL mailboxes in the domain (we suggest None or Reviewer)
• Leave Mail-enabled unchecked unless there is a specific reason the folder should receive mail messages.
  
  
8. Click the Submit button.

Configure Permissions

Once the public folder is created, it is important you define the users that should or should not have access to it. Complete the steps below to configure the necessary permission levels:

1. Open a web browser and go to https://control.apparatus.net.
2. Enter the username and password for the administrative user account and click Login.
3. Click Hosting across the top navigation bar.

7. Select the Permissions tab.
8. Click the Add button.
9. Locate the user, select the appropriate permission using the drop-down box, and click Submit.

Note: Reviewer will allow the user to view the items in the folder; author will allow the user to create new items; editor will allow the user to create, modify, and delete items.
