- The first is that the ACE’s for the EWS security roles enumerations and Outlook roles don’t match. There are only sutle differences but if you need these roles to marry up in Outlook you need to include your own routines to do this.
- When you want to modify,add or delete an ACE on a public folder (or a mailbox folder) do a GerFolder to retrieve the current ACL and make sure you build a new Permission set and populate it with the existing ACE’s and the add,or modified the ACE you want to change.
There’s a lot more detail you can go into but I think it just gets confusing as I would be just trying to repeat what I mentioned in the past but if you can understand those two points then this code will start making a little sense.
So the code basically creates a Subfolder under another subfolder under a Root Public folder. So the first part of the code is an enumeration section that first finds the root public folder and then traverses this Root folder to find the Subfolder which will be the parent of the new folder. It then creates a new folder and then after that it gets the permissions for the new folder and modifies them so that the default ACE has editor rights so all users can modify the contacts that are created in this folder. Adding or deleting ACE’s is pretty simple you just use a new PermissionType object. Well maybe simple once you’ve done it a few times.
I’ve put a download of the code here the code itself looks like
