Everyone here at work has given All Staff Reviewer access to their calendars. However, someone accidentally ticked the box that sends out an email to All Staff summarising these permissions and the email said:

This message was sent automatically by Microsoft Outlook to inform you that you have been designated as a delegate. You can now send messages on my behalf.

You have been given the following permissions on my folders:
Calendar: Reviewer (can read items)
Tasks: None
Inbox: None
Contacts: None
Notes: None
Journal: None

Which is great except why is it saying You can now send messages on my behalf?!! We did a test and sure enough, anyone can now send messages on behalf of anyone else.:horrified I've double/triple checked the permissions on the Inbox and All Staff definitely have no permissions.

What has gone wrong? We really don't want anyone to send on behalf of anyone else, but the Reviewer access on the Calendar is a must. Anything I might have ticked/unticked that I can't think of?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Susan

545877 2007-05-01 08:58:00 How is this all running? All on one machine? Or do you have SBS2003 with Exchange running? Does each user have their own machine? CYaBro (73)

Funnily enough, right clicking the calendar and giving sharing permissions that way seems to get rid of the problem of being able to send an email on behalf of that person. I still can't figure out why delegates would let you send on behalf of someone when you only have Reviewer access to their calendar though...

545879 2007-05-02 05:50:00 After trawling through Google I've finally found something:

"When you give a person any level of delegate access to any of these six folders, that person has permission to send messages on your behalf."

I didn't know that. I guess you learn something every day...
