Listed below are the locations you need to consider when assigning file system rights to GroupWise users:
Domain Directory: Users do not need file system access to the domain directory.
Post Office Directory: The recommended post office access mode for the GroupWise client is client/server (TCP/IP), which means that the user does not need file system access to the post office. Therefore, ConsoleOne does not assign any file system rights when you add a user to a post office.
GroupWise Software Distribution Directory: If you want users to have file system rights to a GroupWise software distribution directory to install or run the GroupWise client, you need to manually assign rights. For instructions, see Section 89.2.1, Granting File System Rights to the Software Distribution Directory.
Mailbox Backup Directory: For users to restore their mailbox from a network backup directory, they need the appropriate file system rights to the directory. For more information, see Section 89.2.2, Granting File System Rights to the Mailbox Backup Directory.
The software distribution directory contains the GroupWise client for Windows. To set up and run the GroupWise client, users need the directory rights listed in the table below.

IMPORTANT:Users need rights only to the client directory and subdirectories. The other directories (admin, agents, domain, internet, and po) are administration directories that users should not have access to.
If you back up a user’s network mailbox, or a user backs up his or her local mailbox, to a network location, the user needs Read and Write file system rights to the backup directory in order to restore his or her mailbox.
