Folder access to shared outlook folder list 1

[jmstiles]

I have a department that uses shared inboxes to view general mail regarding our clients. The problem is that with people coming and going from the dept. the folder and sub-folder access permissions have to be granted.

Is there a simple way to add delegate-like permissions to all folders and subfolders in a mailbox?? The permissions do not seem to propogate to lower level folders. (Exchange 5.5 and Outlook 2000)

Any help on this is much appreciated.....

You'll have a much easier life if you set up a public folder for them. Setting permissions is much simpler from the server. And you can pretty much do anything with a public folder that you can do with a mailbox.

Oh and another thing...

It's a while since I've tried this but I think it'll work. Give the users User Permission from the Mailbox object in Exchange Admin.

If you can't see the Permissions tab within Exchange Admin then you'll need to enable it in Options (menu Tools, Options. click Permissions tab and select "Show Permissions Tab on all Ojects&quot

Unfortunately public folders are not an option due to company requirements and changing the permissions on the Mailbox object does not give other users access to the mailbox folders and sub folders....

Any other ideas out there???

I've just had a chance to test adding User permissions on my site like I described above and it does work here. Have I misunderstood the problem

BTW, here's the MSKB document advising the same method:

Thanks for the info...this is working as you described. I must have configured the permissions incorrectly before....
