26 SHARING FOLDERS AND CALENDARS Outlook Web App users can right-click on the Inbox, select "permissions" and then add the name or names of the people who can then view the inbox. After that, each person who has been named to view that inbox can go to their own mailbox's root folder, right-click on it and then select "add shared folder..." and enter the name of the person who has given them permission to view their inbox. To Share a Folder (Owner) Important: When granting an individual any permissions on your root mailbox, any folder you create after this will be granted the same permissions to that individual. Example: After granting an individual "Folder Visible" permissions to the root mailbox, that individual will automatically be granted "folder visible" permissions to all new folders as well. 1. Locate a folder in the folder list. 2. Right-click the folder and select Permissions from the menu. 3. Click the PLUS SIGN (+) at the top left of the dialog box. 4. Enter the name of the person that the folder will be shared with. Click Add. After selecting an individual and clicking add, highlight the individual s name in the permissions list.

Each of the listed predefined permissions allow the selected user to have access to the folder in different ways. Note: When adding more than one user, each user s permissions will need to be set individually. Once the desired permissions have been selected, click OK. Notify the person that a folder has been shared. Note: When giving permissions to view any folder other than the Inbox, there s one more step. After setting permissions for the folder to be shared, the owner also needs to click the mailbox s root folder ( User Name ) and the Inbox and grant Folder visible permissions to that as well.
