"Note: New user defaults apply to the entire server, not each domain. If you change the above options for any host (primary or virtual), all other hosts new user defaults will be changed as well."
I'm running 8.11, not sure how different it is from 8.05, but if I'm at the settings screen for the main Users folder and put a check in any of those boxes, then click apply, the change is carried over to all users in that domain. Taking that one step further, if that box is checked and you uncheck it, click Apply and Refresh, it should remove that access from ALL users.
I just tried it out as a test with my system and it worked perfect. As far as rolling it over 500 domains, you've got me befuddled there. Start clickin'. :)
Good luck, Sam

Ah, I see...The users folder, rather than individual folders. That makes more sense - thanks to both, and apologies to Sam for the misunderstanding, I thought maybe I'd just mis-phrased the question.
Is there a way to apply this across the entire system, or to automate doing this for each domain? I'd conservatively estimate between 400 and 500 domains on this server. The prospect of going through every single one individually doesn't make my heart leap with joy...
Regards, Simon
