Outlook 2011 Delegates

Giving Access

Delegate 5 (giving Permissions).png


To give someone access to your account (inbox, calendar, etc) you need to click on the item (in this case the inbox) while holding the Control key to get the pop-up menu. Select "Sharing Permissions..." from the menu. In the calendar section you "control-click" on your user name.

Enter the name of the account you want to give access to. Click on the "Find" button. In this example we have used the help account. Double click on the account you wish to give access to.

At this point you can give the person specific permissions. For example if you wish to only allow access to your calendar, you would just sent this item (INBOX) to "Folder visible" which is required for access to any of the inbox sub items.
