  • Admin Permissions Howto

++ Horde

+++ A Webmail-only installation without featuring the Horde portal

Of course, you will have to let IMP handle the authentication:

  • In the Administration/Setup menu, choose the //Horde (horde)// application, then the //Authentication// tab.

The Horde administrators will need Horde's //Administrator// menu, so you will need a user group to grant them particular permissions:

  • In the Administration/Groups menu, add a new group, say //Administrators//.
  • Add all Horde administrators to that group.

Now you are ready to set the permissions, so ordinary users won't see the Horde portal link:

  • In the Administration/Permissions menu, add the new permission: //Horde (horde)//.
  • Edit the //Horde (horde)// entry to grant the following permissions:
  • To all authenticated users: Read, Edit, Delete. (This will remove the sidebar menu entry for Horde.)
  • To the //Administrators// group: Show, Read, Edit, Delete. (This will retain the sidebar menu entry.)

Remove Horde from the top-bar menu (if it appears there at all):

  • As a Horde administrator, open (in the sidebar) the //Administration/Setup// menu.
  • In the //Application// field, choose the //Mail (imp)// entry.
  • Under the //External Utilities and Menu// tab, edit the //Menu settings//, then click on //Generate Mail Configuration//.
  • Note: You can, of course, use Turba and Ingo with your Webmail installation; in this case, you will here activate their respective entries for the Imp menu.
  • If you have Turba, or Ingo, installed then edit their respective menu settings, in the same way.

Instruct your users on how to set Horde's //Global Options//, particularly the preferred language:

  • In top bar of the //Options// submenu, in the //Edit options for// field, choose the //Global Options// application,
  • then, if necessary, klick on the //Go// button, nearby.
  • Note: In German, this bit is particularly confusing, as both Horde's //Global Options//, and Imp's //General Options// are termed alike, viz. //Allgemeine Einstellungen//.
  • Note: Alternatively, you could try to include Horde's //Global Options// with Imp's option menu, by modifying {{imp/config/prefs.php}}, but that is beyond the scope of this advice.

++ Hermes

To allow authenticated users to see the time tracking module you must give at least Show and Read permissions to the "hermes" application

  • Choose Administration --> Permissions
  • Click on the All Permissions "keys" icon
  • When the "Add a child Permission" pane appears, choose the Hermes module
  • Click the Add button
  • Click the "notepad" icon to edit the permissions for Hermes
  • On the default permissions tab, check Show and Read

To allow a user to be able to Review time from other users you must make changes to the hermes permissions. Here are the steps:

  • Choose Administration --> Permissions
  • If the Hermes permissions are not yet set, follow the steps above.
  • Click on the Hermes "keys" icon
  • When the "Add a child Permission pane appears, choose the Time Review module
  • Click on the Permissions tab for the user or group that you want check, Show

++ Turba

+++ A read-only LDAP address book

To allow authenticated users to search the addressbook of your organization (provided it is kept on an LDAP server), and to use the e-mail addresses contained therein to compose messages:

  1. Define, in turba/config/sources.php, that addressbook, using {{sizelimit}}, {{export}}, and {{browse}} to prevent large-scale address copying, e. g.:

    /** Central E-Mail Directory (read-only) **/
    $cfgSources['localldap'] = array('title' => _("E-Mail directory Example Ltd."),
    'type' => 'ldap',
    'params' => array('server' => 'ldap.example.com',
    'port' => '389',
    'tls' => false,
    'root' => 'ou=people,o=Example Ltd.,c=com',
    'charset' => 'utf-8',
    'sizelimit' => 200,
    'scope' => 'one',
    'version' => 3),
    'map' => array('__key' => 'dn',
    'name' => 'cn',
    'email' => 'mail'),
    'search' => array('name', 'email'),
    'strict' => array('dn'),
    'export' => false,
    'browse' => false);
  2. Login to Horde as an administrator, then select the Administration/Permissions menu.

Under //All Permissions//, add new permission //Address Book (turba)//

Under //Address Book (turba)//, add new permission //Sources (sources)//

Under //Sources (sources)//, add new permission //E-Mail directory Example Ltd. (localldap)//

Edit the added permissions to grant all authenticated users the following rights:

  • //Address Book (turba):// Show, Read, Edit, Delete (This will provide access to turba via the menus.)
  • //Sources (sources):// Show, Read, Edit, Delete
  • //E-Mail directory Example Ltd. (localldap):// Show, Read (This will hide, in the several menus, all editing operations that would otherwise cause weird error messages.)
