Add calendars to folder list

  • Thread starter Thread starter Michelle

It's a two step process between you and the other mailbox owners. First,
each mailbox owner will need to give you Reviewer permission at the root of
his/her mailbox. Then, he/she must make sure you have the appropriate
permission for the Calendar folder itself. Once those two things are done,
you can go into either Tools | Services or Tools | E-mail Accounts
(depending on your Outlook version -- you didn't specify), then into
Exchange Server properties, click Advanced, and then add the other user's
mailbox to the list. The mailbox and all the folders you have permissions
to see will then appear in your folder list.

Is there a way to view only the users' calendars and not
their inbox folders etc in my folder list?
 
If you don't have permission to see the other folders, you shouldn't be able
to see them...they will need to check permissions on all their folders and
make sure you only have access to the ones you need.

Users can give others permission to see just their calendar; they don't have to give root permission. I have given my boss permission to see just my calendar (Outlook 2002):

In the Folder Pane, right click Calendar to bring up the Properties Dialog

Select the Permissions tab

Click the "Add" button and select whoever you want to see your calendar (e.g., the boss), and set their permission level.

Please note that only the calendar owner can do this; my boss cannot give herself access to my calendar. She has to ask me for that permission.

After I've given her permission, she can open my calendar by doing FILE / OPEN / OTHER USER'S FOLDER. She inputs my name and selects Calendar.

True; the calendar folder is one of the folders that can be accessed via
Open Other User's Folder. I think a message or two was lost in this thread
(at least for me) and I didn't know that person was responding to an earlier
reply where I described the root permissions.
