Every few weeks or so I get into an argument with people when I recommend they drop the ACL level for a user from "Manager" to "Editor" on a users' mai file. There are numerous reasons to do this including but not limited to:

• Stops users deleting their entire mail file from the server (yes, I have seen this *multiple* times)
• Stops users jacking up the ACL and locking out servers, administrators, et al
• "Manager" is not required to delegate or enabled Out of Office (it used to....but that was releases back, and you should be using OOO Service now anyway)

Still, I get push back. Usually along the lines of change control, or the oft mentioned phrase "it's the way we've always done it". Well, today I have new reason.....

If you use clustering you really, really don't want your users having Manager ACL access. Why? Because Server_Resticted ignores bouncing your users to another cluster mate if the user is a manager of the connecting to database.

See Technote 1089278 for further details and this post on the use of Server_Restricted.

So there you have it. Editor ACL access. Do it. It's good for you. Like fiber for breakfast.
