Re: [SOGo] Security issues with multiple log ins?

[Rick Larson]

Thanks Chris for your insight. 

I haven't signed up yet, as we are searching for options, so this is all new to 
me. Thus the reason to keep asking you folks until I have it figured out. 

By your suggestion I would set up on account and just share the address book. 
That is exactly the way I would like it. Was not aware it could be done so 
easily.  With this admin would make changes to the address book and this would 
be reflected on everyone's devices with read only access. 

Thanks for your help and support. We will be signing up. 

Regards. 
Rick

Just for a little more clarification.

By "push access" I mean that 150+ users will add the details of one account to 
their iPhones, Android or Windows phones, to which one address book will be pushed. No 
one except one Admin will have write access.  When he/she changes an address this will be 
pushed immediately to all of the devices and the same changes will be reflected on their 
devices.

Below you write about everyone with read access only accessing a URL to the 
address book and reading it there.  We were not interested in this so much but 
interested in setting up an extra account in our mobile phones which will be an 
additional address book to our own personal one in the phone.

Thanks again

By "push access" do you mean write privileges for all of your users?
If yes, they all need an account at your SOGo server.
Then you can share your address book with them and give them write access.

If no, then you can give public read only access.
This means everyone who knows the URL to the address book can access and
read it.

Access to one account is not limited in itself.
You can access it from all countries, with multiple client systems and
different clients at the same time.




Why would you give 150+ users the one login/password?
Why wouldn't you just personally administer the "shared" address book, 
on a separate sogo account, and "share" it out to the 150+ people?
This way you could control for example, when one person leaves your 
organization, you can suspend their account only, and not disrupt the 
other 149 people!
With one shared account, you would have to reissue that one account's 
password, and force 149 people change their password in their device!!!

Thanks for your help. 

Just for a little more clarification. 

By "push access" I mean that 150+ users will add the details of one account to 
their iPhones, Android or Windows phones, to which one address book will be 
pushed. No one except one Admin will have write access.  When he/she changes an 
address this will be pushed immediately to all of the devices and the same 
changes will be reflected on their devices. 

Below you write about everyone with read access only accessing a URL to the 
address book and reading it there.  We were not interested in this so much but 
interested in setting up an extra account in our mobile phones which will be an 
additional address book to our own personal one in the phone. 

Thanks again

[SOGo] Security issues with multiple log ins?

By "push access" do you mean write privileges for all of your users?
If yes, they all need an account at your SOGo server.
Then you can share your address book with them and give them write access.

If no, then you can give public read only access.
This means everyone who knows the URL to the address book can access and
read it.

Access to one account is not limited in itself.
You can access it from all countries, with multiple client systems and
different clients at the same time.


Kind regards,

Yes.

SOGo supports shared address books, so can yo can decide if access is read-only 
or write.
