Thanks for annotating the bugs, etc. Until we can come up with a web-based interface to zmprov, I found a round-about way to delegate resource management to users:
1) DNS a subdomain called something like: resources.domain.com
2) Add this subdomain to the list of domains in the Zimbra Admin UI
3) Set the maximum # of accounts for the new domain to 2 (can't be 1: bug:
Bug 9229 - resources should not count against the licensed user count)
4) Create a user in the domain called something like:
manager@resources.domain.com
5) Make this user a Domain Administrator for resources.domain.com
6) Give this Admin UI account to a delegated person, so they can manage the resources under that domain name.
Drawbacks:
- Requires a user license for each
manager@resource.domain.com account
- Have to DNS a subdomain for every resource manager to work in.
- User has to login to the the
manager@resource.domain.com account to manage resources
- The resource managers may try and muck around with aliases, distribution lists and new accounts, but aren't going to accomplish too much, due to the account limit.
Like I said, it's kind of a hack, but we'll work with it until we can get something better in place!
