What does Delegate Access do?
There are different permission levels for delegate access:
- Reviewer - With this permission, the delegate can read items in your folders.
- Author - With this permission, the delegate can read and create items, and change and delete items that he or she creates. For example, a delegate can create task requests and meeting requests directly in your Task or Calendar folder and then send the item on your behalf.
- Editor - With this permission, the delegate can do everything that an Author has permission to do and additionally can change and delete the items that you created.
