- Setting up Shared Address Books is a two part process
- First, you must log into the server interface to create the address books and grant permission to other user to access them
- The act of logging in will create a default calendar and address book for that user.
- It is required that a user log in before he can be granted permissions to any address books
- Then you need to configure your CardDAV client to access the address books you created
- There is no web interface for the address books, you must access them through a client such as thunderbird or webmail.
- This interface is a little bit overwhelming at first, but so is the number of things you can do with it
- This page will not show you everything you can do, but it should show you some of the basic functions without making you learn all there is to know.
