Giving user permission to open another users mailbox
Exchange 2010 running on Win2008R2.
User needs to open another users folder.
I have given a user access to another mailbox by going to the mailbox proprieties and adding the user in the in the delivery options of the mailflow settings. But when the user tries to open the mailbox he gets an error saying he doesnt have rights. When else do I need to add this user?

Hi,
I'm not supposed to open the mailbox as it's a private one for job applications, so I dont want to open it of give myself permissions on it.

hi,
then either you request a written permission saying that you are allowed to do it(i had the exact same problem as you and i solved it this way because it was way easier but it also depends on the company hierarchy etc..) or you try doing it with powershell (only possible with exchange-admin-rights of course)
i think the correct cmdlet is add-mailboxpermissions
with this you can also grant access to subfolders - but for me that was a pain in the ***...
try "get-help add-mailboxpermissions" on exchange shell for further instructions on how to use this cmdlet.

So if I use this shell command I dont need to add the users to the 'Full access permissions' role? IS there a danger in adding them to the full access permissions if they need to send on behalf off too?
