Delegate - send on behalf permissions not working as described

[shonomeri]

I have been testing the Delegate permissions in Outlook 2003 and after
reading the "Delegate Access Permissions" in Outlook Help. It says that
"Author" or "Editor" permissions the delegate has send-on-behalf privilages,
however I can use the send-on-behalf with only reviewer privilages.

Is this the way it works for everyone else? Am I missing something, I've set
it up several times on two clean test accounts and I can get it to repeat.

Thanks

If you want to grant only folder viewing permissions, don't use the Delegate tab in TOols | Options. Instead, edit the permissions on the folder's Properties dialog.

Sue,
Thanks for the reply
Your solution works, however I am concerned from a user standpoint that the
help in Outlook states that you need author or editor permissions to be
granted the "send on behalf" action, when all you really needs is reviewer
privilages.

Thanks again Sue!!!

"Send on behalf" is completely different permission, not at all related to viewing folders, but instead to sending mail with a particular account as the From address. Your confusion is between delegate status (which *does* involved "send on behalf") and just being able to view items in the folders.
