Excellent. I would much rather manage from one locations, I'm not ( at this point ) worried about the granularity. I'll use the admin tool. Thanks Darcy.

It's just a matter of where you want to manage the access from. If you, as the administrator, are expected to control who has access, give rights from the Admin tool. And give "user" rights at each individual mailbox. If you want a finer granularity on the permissions (such as by folder), or if the mailbox owner will be managing access, give permissions via the client. The main thing is this: don't give Admin rights to anyone other than Exchange admins. There are other ways to safely give access to individual mailboxes (as described above). Oh - and be prepared to wait up to 120 minutes for the changes to take effect. You can shorten that time via a reghack. There's a Q-article somewhere in the KB that explains how.

Just to clarify, your saying DO NOT give rights from the client correct? Only give rights from the mailbox via Exchange Administrator? I'll change that setting to user right away. e- -----Original Message----- From: Darcy Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 9:42 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Mailbox permission problems No - not admin. For your first clue, from the Exchange admin menu select Tools/Options. Click on the "Permissions" tab. Turn on "Display rights for roles on Permissions Page". Now - go back to one of those mailboxes and look at the rights that go with "Admin". The do not include any ability to access or use the mailbox from a client. Finally - do the right thing: make him a "user" on the mailboxes.

I have a guy that need to be able to access 20 sales mailboxes, when I show permissions on individual mailboxes and give him admin rights to those 20 it doesn't work. The only way I can get it to work is to give him rights to the whole site. The problem there is I now believe he is abusing the privilege and is reading other people's email, most notably mine. Should there be a way to do this?
