Admin access to sieve filters with managesieve
Hi,
I’ve been a long-time user of Cyrus and started using sieve with Dovecot recently. A question that came up is: how do I access a users’s sieve scripts through managesieve without their credentials? Managesieve allows separating authentation and the corresponding mailbox identification, right? That’s what I used with cyrus sieve all the time. :)
I didn’t find documentation in the wiki or googling where to configure someone as admin in Dovecot so he can access foreign sieve scripts through managesieve.
Pointers? Am I using the right words?
Cheers, Christian

Hi,
Dovecot has Master Users which can login as other users.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers
But I don't know if this also applies to managesieve and works for you.
Cheers, Felix

Hi,
thanks for the pointer! I’ll get this checked out.
Happy if the master user is not a regular account. Thanks for the clarification! :)
