1233.0. "Restrict user to read mail only?" by HTSC19::STEVENLAU (Steven Lau HKCS) Thu Aug 13 1992 05:16

     Is there any way to restrict a ALL-IN-1 user to read mail only? The user
cannot send or file mail. ALL-IN-1 version is V2.4.

Thanks,
  Steven Lau

1233.1But why?IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeThu Aug 13 1992 11:5410
    I suppose you could do this by taking all the other options off of any
    menu that they could possibly get to. It would be a reasonable amount
    of work I would think. It would probably be cheaper to give them
    VMSMail instead :-)
    
    Why would you want to do this?
    
    Who would empty all the junk out of their file cabinet?

1233.2Use a SCRIPT SCRIPT to filter ?IOSG::WDAVIESThere can only be one ALL-IN-1 MailThu Aug 13 1992 12:067
    Um, not sure but I think there should be an easier way - IF, ONLY IFF 
    you want the user to READ MAIL (not manipulate it)
                           
    Use a SCRIPT SCRIPT to 'JUDGE' the users input, and only allow READ
    and READ NEW ? (I think this could also allow RFD, I  etc)

1233.3Strange requestSHALOT::NICODEMAvoid traffic; leave work at noonThu Aug 13 1992 14:4314
	I'm confused by one thing:  you say 'the user cannot send or file mail'.
The Send part I can understand; other inquiries have come in in the past that
wish to limit the sending capabilities of their users (mostly to cut down on
mail traffic).  But I don't understand the 'file' part.

	Why wouldn't/shouldn't they be allowed to file?  Or maybe there's some-
thing else implied here?  Are you saying that you want them to be able to Read
their mail *and then have it "disappear"*??  In other words, that it would
never get filed *at all*??  If so, this is clearly not a good idea.

	Could you clarify that?  Which is it:  not being able to RFD, XFD, FM,
FA, etc.; or simply not ever being able to have anything in their File Cabinet?
