Set zimbraPrefFromAddress via SOAP

[Tobo]

Hi,


I'm trying to set the attribute zimbraPrefFromAddress via SOAP with a ModifyAccountRequest:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
   <soap:Header>
      <context xmlns="urn:zimbra">
         <authToken>0_bc7...</authToken>
         <nosession/>
      </context>
   </soap:Header>
   <soap:Body>
<ModifyAccountRequest xmlns="urn:zimbraAdmin">
 <id>bb4250d5-f214-45f3-b274-49561b90549c</id>
  <a n="zimbraPrefFromAddress">f.l@domain.com</a>
</ModifyAccountRequest>
   </soap:Body>

</soap:Envelope>

The response:

   <soap:Body>
      <soap:Fault>
         <soap:Code>
            <soap:Value>soap:Sender</soap:Value>
         </soap:Code>
         <soap:Reason>
            <soap:Text>permission denied: cannot access attribute zimbraPrefFromAddress on account target test@domain.com</soap:Text>
         </soap:Reason>
         <soap:Detail>
            <Error xmlns="urn:zimbra">
               <Code>service.PERM_DENIED</Code>

Why am I not allowed to do this? The auth code is generated using a domain account.

Any ideas?

i do it very similarly... using the authtoken of a global admin....
and $ID is the user's zimbraID
and $FIRSTLOWER and $LASTLOWER are their first and last names in lowercase

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<soap:Header>
<context xmlns="urn:zimbra">
<authToken>$AUTHTOKEN</authToken>
<nosession/>
</context>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<ModifyAccountRequest xmlns="urn:zimbraAdmin">
<id>$ID</id>
<a n="zimbraPrefFromAddress">$FIRSTLOWER.$LASTLOWER@d omain.com</a>
</ModifyAccountRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
