A person just left. I was asked to archive everything from her exchange
(2003) server file to her archive. After which, I copied her archive .pst
file to a shared drive.

Now I want to give someone else permission to open it. How do I do that? Is
this handled at the file-level security? Being the system administrator, I
can open the file, but right clicking on properties shows the "Share" line
greyed out and properties doesn't have anything permission related.

Hi Mark,

an "archive.pst" (or any other PST file) can not be shared without 3rd party
utilities.

That's not exactly what I'm trying to do. I don't want multiple people to
open a .PST file (The essence of what sharing is all about). I just want to
give permission to person to be able to open the file. Obviously since I'm
not the person that left, yet I can open this file, but another can't open
the file, that person is having a permission problem. Not a sharing problem.

Hi Mark,

sorry that I missunderstood your question.

"..but another can't open the file, that person is having a permission
problem"

And you can not give permission to this user for this folder where the PST
file is stored?

Another idea would be to move this PST file into a folder where this user
has permission, right?
