" Permission Button"

[Guest]

Office Help says that to restrict recipients from forwarding an e-mail, click
on the "Permission" button in that e-mail's toolbar.

That button does not show up on ANY of our office computers. Does it need
to be installed? Where should I ook?

And I believe it will work only if you're using a Windows Server 2003 system
with RIghts Management features installed.

Your right about the Rights Management feature but it should work against
Server 2000, Exchange 2000 but you have to jump through some hoops if I
remember correctly.

Actually WIndows Rights Management is completely independent of and has nothing to do with Exchange. WRM does require Windows 2003 Server as its platform.

Sorry I thought the OP was talking about IRM rather than Windows Rights

The RM feature that puts a Permissions button on Office 2003 application *is* the one that uses Windows Rights Management Server, whether in-house or the Passport test system.

We must not have WRM installed. I opened a new e-mail using Word as e-mail
editor and that didn't work, either. There is no such button showing on any
computer here. I'll check with our IT guy ... it may be that we must have
WRM installed.

Thanks for trying anyway, guys! I appreciate it!

The button should still be there in Outlook 2003 and Word 2003, even if RM isn't in use in your organization. When the user clicks it the first time, they get a few dialogs to help them walk through the configuration process. Resetting the toolbar might make the command show up.

But if you don't have RM, it's a moot point, since you won't be able to use it! <g>

You dont need to host a WRM Server as (as Sue as also mentioned) it can be
used with Net Passport using a Microsoft provided service instead of you
using your own WRM Server. Never having hosted my own WRM I can only imagine
that it is better than using the Net Passport. Also Note that the recipient
doesn't necessarily need to be running Outlook 2003 as their is a I.E. addin
that will allow accessing of the restricted item.

Important point about the .NET Passport service: It's not guaranteed to be available. It's intended only for testing so that people without WRM server can see how it works.
