Mailbox Permissions question 1

Hey all.

I've got a task that my boss has given me. (actually, was done a while a go, but read on..)

He wants his secretary(admin assistant if you prefer :p) to
be able to view his contacts and his calendar, but he doesn't want her to have the ability to view his inbox.
Right now, it's set so his secretary is also a user of his box, and we just show her how to open either the calendar, or the contacts, one at a time. but she can go into his inbox anytime she pleases, if she know how. This is not something that would make my boss happy if he knew about it.

is there a way to give permission for ONLY his contacts and calendar and NOT the inbox?

Thanks,
natcmonkey
 
From the outlook client, logged in as your boss, right click on CONTACTS or the CALENDAR, and go to properties.

Go to the permissions tab.

Add the secretary, choose the options below: Create Items, Read Items, Create Subfodlers, Folder Owner, Folder Contact, Folder Visible are you options. You can also chools a "Permission level". I believe Author should do it. It sets to: Create Items, Read Items, Folder Visible.

Do this for both, and it should allow. You can then remove the secretary from having full access on the server.

Hope it helps.
