Same Permission in Multiple Inbox Folders

Hi,

I have a user who has 40 sub-folders in his inbox. He would like his assistant to have access to all of the folders. I know that I can go in to Outlook and give the assistant permission to each folder separately but is there a way to apply the permission to all of the folders at one time?

They are using Exchange 2003 - Outlook 2003

Thanks,

You have to do this for each level of folders from the top level to the bottom-level folder, that is, any subfolders under Mailbox.

Follow up question:

I start out with just the Inbox and I give a Group permission to it. I add the assistant to the Group. Now the user creates new sub-folders - will the assistant have permission to the new sub-folders? And will anyone else I add to the group have permission?

Thanks,

You want to to propagate the permissions down to the other folders.
I am not aware of a way to do that in Outlook mailbox. It can be easily done for public folders.

This will give on all folders not the inbox sub-folders....

Anyways you should be happy :)

amaheshwari's solution worked like a charm!

It does include full permission to all folders...but in this case that works fine.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
