Steve,
You dont need root permission to edit mailbox quotas. You do need to
have the username and password of a Cyrus administrator (usually cyradm)
though. You would need to have that to add and remove mailboxes anyhow, so I
doubt youll get around that. From the way you ask your question, it sounds
like you have the root user set up as the Cyrus administrator. It doesnt
need to be that way. Create a totally new user and then specifiy it in your
imapd.conf rather than root. If you need an example of the config file, Id
be happy to send one. I apologize if I misunderstood you. : - )
