Permissions required for creating hidden items?

Hi all!

I have just implemented a feature in my Outlook COM-Addin which makes
use of hidden message items in order to store information associated
with a folder. It appears I have to grant the users that are supposed
to be able to create these items Owner permissions, as otherwise the
creation of the hidden item just fails silently. I also found this
mentioned on the web already.

However, for documentation purposes I'd like to know what are the
*specific* permissions required for this, as "Owner" really is just a
combination of a whole bunch of permissions, isn't it?
"Create Items" and "Create child objects" together with write
privileges alone did not seem to suffice.
I haven't been able to find information on that so far...


BTW: Sorry for crossposting. For future postings, what is the supposed
difference between m.p.developer.outlook.addins and
m.p.outlook.program_addins ?

Cheers,

Oliver
 
I don't know that the specific permissions that are required for accessing
and creating items in the HiddenMessages collection are specifically
documented. You certainly could test that yourself by creating custom
settings and playing. You might be able to get away with Publishing Editor
rights and not owner.

Both groups are similar but were set up by different groups within MS.
You'll find many of the same posters in both groups.
