next to the user’s name, then click
OK .
11.8 Enabling and Disabling Synchronization for
an iFolder
Disabling synchronization temporarily, as opposed to deleting or disabling the entire user account,
turns off the ability of the selected iFolder to synchronize.
If the iFolder is locked by an active system process (such as backup), you receive an Already
Locked Exception (
AlreadyLockedException
) error. You cannot enable or disable
synchronization for the iFolder until that process ends; try again later.
1 In iManager Roles and Tasks, expand the Novell iFolder 3 role, then select Enable/Disable
iFolder Sync .
2 Search for the iFolder that you want to enable or disable for synchronization.
3 Select the iFolder check box, then click OK .

Do one of the following:
• Enable synchronization for the iFolder by selecting Synchronization Enabled , then click
OK .
• Disable synchronization for the iFolder by deselecting Synchronization Enabled , then
click OK .
11.9 Managing Orphaned iFolders
An iFolder becomes orphaned when its owner is no longer provisioned for iFolder services.
Orphaned iFolders are automatically assigned to the iFolder Admin user, who serves as a temporary
owner until the iFolder can be assigned or deleted. Meanwhile, the members of the iFolder can
continue to use it under the policies and access controls that were in place at the time the iFolder
became orphaned.
1
In iManager Roles and Tasks, expand the Novell iFolder 3 role, then select Orphaned iFolders .
2 Browse to locate the orphaned iFolder you want to manage, then select the check box next to
the iFolder.
3 Do one of the following:
• Change Owner: Click Change Owner , search for and select the user you want to make
the owner, then click OK .
The specified user becomes the iFolder’s owner and has the Full Control right to the
iFolder. If the user was not previously a member of the iFolder, the iFolder is made
available for setup when the user next logs in, synchronizes invitations, or manually
refreshes invitations. The previous owner’s username is removed from the list of iFolder
members. Any policies set for the new owner’s account are imposed on the iFolder. The
share relationship and access rights for current members are unchanged.
• Delete iFolder: Click Delete , then click OK to confirm the deletion. The iFolder share
relationship is deleted and the iFolder and its files are removed from the iFolder server.
The local copy of the iFolder on each member’s computer is reverted to a normal folder.
