[Kolab-devel] Multi-domain support, request for ideas

[Stephan Buys]

I like Dieter's suggestions. My points:

1) At the very least one should be able to have "per-domain" maintainers. Who
can only create/modify users, dls, etc. for their own domains. This could be
done quite trivially through an extension of the managers' object and by ACLs.
2) The ability to create organisational units for grouping domain users would
be a "nice to have" but isn't a requirement for me. 

Regards,
Stephan
