AppSuite:Permission Level

This information is valid from 7.4.2 on.

OX Permission Level Matrix

Note: While permissions still apply to versions from 7.4.2 on, a new concept named capabilities has been introduced. This allows for a more granular control of access to features. This article has not yet been updated to reflect this enhancement.

App Suite allows to provide different permission levels to the users.

The levels start with pure webmail-only functionality and end with the full featured groupware product including all connectors and are described in the first table.

• Webmail contains pure webmail functionality including a private addressbook
• PIM (Private Information Management) adds private calendar and private tasks, no group or sharing permissions are available
• PIM + Mobility adds mobile synchronisation to the PIM level
• PIM + InfoStore adds private InfoStore functionality to the PIM level
• Groupware Standard includes all group and sharing permissions as well as the InfoStore
• Groupware Premium adds all external connectors and mobile synchronisation to Groupware Standard

In addition to this levels, App Suite contains several functions, which can flexible be used with every level. This functions are described in the second table.
