Clearing the "don't inherit grants from parent folder"(i) flag

Description

If you have already shared and revoked permissions for a folder, you may experience problems sharing it again. The following steps will clear the "don't inherit grants from parent folder" (i) flag. To correct this problem, follow the steps below.

How to clear the i flag

The "don't inherit grants from parent folder"(i) flag can be cleared by the "zmmailbox mff" command, as follows:

1. Find out and remember the currently set flags:

zmmailbox -z -m {user-name} gf {folder-path}

e.g.

>zmmailbox -z -m user1@test.com gf /Inbox
{
    "color": "defaultColor",
    "contentSequence": 1,
    "defaultView": "message",
    "flags": "ui",
    "grants": [],
    "id": "2",
    "isCheckedInUI": false,
    "isExcludedFromFreeBusy": false,
    "isSyncEnabled": false,
    "isSyncFolder": false,
    "isSystemFolder": true,
    "itemCount": 222,
    "name": "Inbox",
    "parentId": "1",
    "path": "/Inbox",
    "pathURLEncoded": "/Inbox",
    "size": 7592687,
    "subFolders": [],
    "unreadCount": 222
}

The current flags are "ui" in the example.

2. Remove only the i (no inherit) flag and preserve all other flags:

zmmailbox -z -m {user-name} mff {folder-path} {flags}

Continuing with the example in step 1, e.g.

zmmailbox -z -m user1@test.com mff /Inbox u

3. Check that it is updated as expected. The 'i' flag should be gone and all other flags should be still present.

e.g.

>zmmailbox -z -m user1@test.com gf /Inbox
{
    "color": "defaultColor",
    "contentSequence": 1,
    "defaultView": "message",
    "flags": "u",
    "grants": [],
    "id": "2",
    "isCheckedInUI": false,
    "isExcludedFromFreeBusy": false,
    "isSyncEnabled": false,
    "isSyncFolder": false,
    "isSystemFolder": true,
    "itemCount": 222,
    "name": "Inbox",
    "parentId": "1",
    "path": "/Inbox",
    "pathURLEncoded": "/Inbox",
    "size": 7592687,
    "subFolders": [],
    "unreadCount": 222
}
