How Do I Add a User as a Delegate in Outlook?

Article Body

Under the Tools menu, click Options.
Click on the Delegates tab. Click Add.
The Add Users window will appear. Browse through the address list to select a delegate. Click on a name. Click the Add button. Repeat the process until you have added all desired delegates.
When finished, click OK.
The Delegate Permissions window will appear. Choose the levels of permission (Reviewer, Author, or Editor) for Calendar, Tasks, etc. using the drop-down menus.

Note: A delegate must have Editor permission in the Calendar or Tasks folder and Reviewer permission in your Inbox to accept meeting or task requests for you.
In this window, you may also choose to automatically send a message to the delegate and/or allow the delegate to see your private items.

Note: When you grant access to your folders, that delegate has access to the personal items in the folders unless you mark those items as private, but here you have the option of allowing access to private items as well.
Click OK.
Your new delegate(s) should now appear in the Options window. By click on a delegate’s name, you may use the buttons on the right to Remove the delegate, edit his/her Permissions, or view the delegate’s Properties.
Also in the Options window, you may also choose to Send meeting requests and responses only to my delegates, not to me . Just click the check-box.

Note: If you select the Send meeting requests and responses only to my delegates, not to me, the delegate does not need Reviewer permission in the Inbox (as mentioned in #5); the meeting requests and responses go directly to the delegate's Inbox.
Click OK to save your changes and exit Options
