About delegation and sharing

Users can share or delegate their Microsoft Exchange account calendars, address books, and e-mail folders.

Important

To use sharing and delegation, users must have mailboxes on a server running Microsoft Exchange Server.

By using sharing, an account owner can give another user access to his or her Microsoft Exchange calendars, address books, or mail folders. The shared folder appears under a separate account in the designated user's mail folder list, and this user can read the other person's events, contacts, or mail messages. Users can also give permission for another user to create, edit, and delete items in the shared folder.

By using delegation, a delegate can view mail messages that are sent to the account owner. With the account owner's permission, the delegate can send and reply to invitations and messages on his or her behalf. Both the owner's account name and the delegate's account name appear on the invitation or message.

When users share a folder, they can set permission levels that define what each user sharing the folder can do:

Permission	Activities that a sharing user can perform
level
Owner	Create, read, modify, and delete all calendar, address book, private and public
	folder, and mail folder items. As an owner, a user can change the permission
	levels others have for the folder.
