Allowing other users to change tasks in Public Folder

[Britt]

Hi,

I am currently using the Office Outlook Web Access system. Our IT people
have set-up the Public Folders option for our company. My group has created
a task list under the Public Folder - so that the entire group can see the
tasks. We cannot, however, check off tasks that others have put on the
list... We can only "complete" task items that we put up there. Is there
anyway to edit the permissions within that list so that everyone can check
things off?

Basically - we want an online to-do list that everyone can add things to as
they think of them, then edit and check off as they complete.

When someone other than the original poster tries to check off a task - it
says that they don't have the appropriate permissions.

Any help?

What version of Exchange? You either need to log in with outlook or the
admin needs to change the permissions on the folder so you all have editor
or better permission.

It is the 2007 version of Exchange.

Some of the other employees are using Outlook on their computers and some
are just using the Exchange page - and it doesn't matter which version is
used - we can only edit the tasks that we each, individually, type up.

For example:

"Brian" posts a to-do item that he thought of while in a meeting. I see the
item and have a free minute - so I do the to-do item - but I can't go on and
check it off as completed... Only "Brian" can check off the task - since he
was the one who wrote it.

It would be a really easy way to keep track of things to do and everyone
would know what needed to be done, we just can't get it up to the
functionality that we need.

Thanks for the help!!

Someone using Outlook needs to right click on the folder and choose
Properties and go to the permissions tab and change everyone's permissions -
the Edit All box should be checked.

Thanks much!!!

I apparently don't have permission to do that - but I called the creator of
the folder and they fixed it.

You're great

Thanks again!
