NOTE: In Outlook, everyone can see free/busy time on your calendar by default.

Calendar Sharing

Mailbox > Inbox > Cabinet > Project Folder

I need to be able to place & accept appointments on my boss's/ coworker's calendar and I need to be able to send email for my boss/ coworker.

Adding a Delegate

NOTE: the only reason to use the Delegate feature is when one person needs to place & accept appointments &/or send mail for someone else. If you send mail for another person, the recipient will see that the mail was sent "on behalf of" the person who made you a Delegate.

Boss/coworker needs to log into his/her own account & add a Delegate using the steps below:

1. File tab > Info > Account Settings > Delegate Access.
2. Click Add button in the Delegates window.
3. Find the person(s) to add. To do this, type the full name(s) in the Search box then hit Add. Click OK when done.
4. In the Delegate Permissions window that appears, choose the permissions to grant. To allow your coworker to place appointments on your calendar, you must give Editor Permissions to the Calendar. To allow others to manage your mail, you must give Editor Permissions the Inbox. (In some cases, Author may be sufficient for managing the Calendar & Mail).
5. Check the box, "Automatically send a message to delegate summarizing these permissions."
6. Click OK twice to save your changes.
7. Before your Delegate will be able to see the Inbox in the Navigation Pane, you must also grant folder visibility permissions on your username@auburn.edu folder:
   1. Right-click the folder > choose Folder permissions.
   2. Click Add button, select the person, click OK.
   3. Click Folder visible under Other.
   4. Click OK.
