Control who reads what
roles and grants

A role says what someone may do. A grant says which addresses they may do it to.

The role sets what. The grant sets which address.

How it works

Running in three steps.

  1. 01

    Invite by address

    The invitation carries the role and the addresses. Nothing is granted until acceptance.

  2. 02

    Pick the role

    Six roles ship. Write your own by ticking the permissions it should hold.

  3. 03

    Require two-factor

    Switch it on and anyone without it meets a lockout instead of the mail.

What it runs on

The parts doing the work.

Nothing here is a separate product. Each one is a piece of the mailbox you already have.

Roles & permissions levels

A role says what somebody may do; an address grant says what they may do it to.
