Mailbox access rights problem

[WowBobWow]

Hi all,

Am currently trying to setup mailbox access rights to deny a group of users the ability to delete items from a shared mailbox while at the same time give their boss full control.

Now I have the shared mailbox setup and in the mailbox rights section I have given the boss full rights and given the 'group' read permissions, full mailbox access (Without this they can't see the subfolders in the mailbox) and have denied them delete mailbox storage rights. Yet, they can still delete items from the inbox of said shared mailbox. Have I missed something obvious ??

Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated.

Is your boss part of this group? What is the default setting on the folder? That seems to be the one everyone overlooks is the default folder settings. What version of Outlook are you running?

You obviously set up the rights at the server, but what you have to do is log onto the mailbox using outlook, then right click the mailbox - choose properties - permissions tab and set your rights there - or you can do it at the inbox, outbox etc...

Ah.........Thats it. As you say, everything set up at server level but the mailbox itself tells a different story, it has them listed as having delete functions set to all.

Excellent, although I think I'll have to set a seperate group up for the boss as he is also a part of the shared group. Have to sort that out to prevent confusion me thinks.

Thanks all. Looks like problem solved.

Nothing to see here, move along......
