Allow someone else to manage your mail and calendar

A delegate automatically receives Send on Behalf permissions. By default, the delegate can read only your meeting requests and responses. The delegate isn’t granted permission to read other messages in your Inbox.

1. Select the File tab, then select Account Settings > Delegate Access.

2. In the dialog, select Add.

   If Add doesn’t appear, an active connection might not exist between Outlook and Exchange. The Outlook status bar displays the connection status.

3. Type the name of the person whom you want to designate as your delegate, or search for and then click the name in the search results list.

4. Select Add, then select OK.

5. In the Delegate Permissions dialog box, accept the default permission settings or select custom access levels for Exchange folders.

   If a delegate needs permission to work only with meeting requests and responses, the default permission settings, such as Delegate receives copies of meeting-related messages sent to me, are sufficient. You can leave the Inbox permission setting at None. Meeting requests and responses will go directly to the delegate's Inbox.

6. To send a message to notify the delegate of the changed permissions, select the Automatically send a message to delegate summarizing these permissions check box.

7. If you want, select the Delegate can see my private items check box.

8. Click OK.
