Public Folder Permissions

I've setup Public Folders and assigned permissions to the groups I'd like to
have access.

The problem is that the 'Default User' must have the 'View Folder' box
checked in order for the assigned "Reviewer' users to see the folder.
Becasue the Default User has view rights, staff that shouldn't see the
folder at all can now see it.  They don't see the items in the folders but
they can see the folders.

Is there a way to have only authorized staff see folders without letting
everyone see?

Thanks,
Tom

Hmmm. I don't set up anything for default - I always explicitly set up the
permissions I want for the security groups I want, which is what you're
saying you want to do. This works fine for me, presming the folder hierarchy
is set up logically. You're using AD native mode, right?

NB: you haven't included your version or SP level of Exchange or Windows,
which is important. I'm presuming E2003.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, Exchange Enterprise 2003 (V6.5 Build 7638.2: Service Pack 2) running in
Native Mode on the AD network.

Do you remove permissions from the Default & Anonymous users?

It's weird because I typically setup all rights explictly as well.  I
removed all rights from the default/anonymous users and set the rights as
needed.  When I uncheck the 'View Folder' from the Default user, it goes
away for the 'Reviewers'.

I don't even know where I'd start troubleshooting this...

Just for edification...

The problem was the specific user's AD profile.  I removed the user from all
groups and readded one by one and it worked.  Weird.

Ah, glad you found it - thanks for posting back. Yes, weird, but at least
it's resolved.
