Setting calendar permissions when you are owner of calendar folder only (no access to open rest of m

[Joseph Hill]

Hi

The office runs an Exchange system. We use Outlook 2000 clients.

There are four people who have given me 'owner' access to their
calendars, so as I may grant or revoke administrative staff access as
needed.

However, without having futher permissions to their calendars, I can't
find a way of doing this. I can only see how to do this when the
mailboxes are added to my Exchange profile and every folder opened by
outlook.

Although I can open the calendar only using the "file -> open -> other
users folders" method. This doesn't allow me to see/change the
permissions for other administrative staff.

Any idea how I can change the permissions without having access to the
exchange server, or without needing further 'owner' permissions on
these mailboxes?

Thanks in advance!

Joe

That's right - and you need 'reviewer' permissions or greater on the root
level mailbox folder in question.

Not sure what kinds of changes you need to make regularly, but why not add
the requisite Outlook permissions to an AD mail-enabled security group,
instead of individual users/mailboxes, and then you can modify the group
membership on the server itself, hence controlling the access to the
calendars? That way you don't have to muck around with changing individual
permissions.

Thanks - that worked a treat!
