Delegates in Outlook work similarly to office assistants that handle paper mail. When someone is listed as your delegate, they are able to receive and respond to e-mails and meeting requests on your behalf. The following steps will help you to make someone a delegate for your account:
1. Select the File tab in Outlook.
2. Select Account Settings.
3. Select Delegate Access.
4. Select Add.
5. Type in the name (Last, First) of the person you wish to make into a delegate or enter the name into the search bar and then select it from the results list.
6. Select Add, then select OK.
7. A box will pop up asking you what kind of permissions you want to give your delegate. You may either choose to continue with the default settings, or you can manually change them to fit your needs.
8. Select the check box next to Automatically send a message to delegate summarizing these permissions to send an email to your delegate informing them of their delegate status.
9. Select OK.
10. Select OK to finalize the process.
The personal details your delegates can view about you will vary depending on what permissions you give them. Permissions you may set include the following:
Availability Only: This permission shows that you have an event at a particular time, but no further information.
Limited Details: This permission will show the time, name, and location of the event.
Full Details: This permission will show all information about all events on your calendar, except for any that you might have marked as Private.
Editor: This permission allows delegates to read and create calendar items on your behalf, and to change and/or delete items they create.
1. Select File on the Outlook desktop app menu.
2. Select Account Settings.
3. Select Delegate Access.
4. Choose the delegate you wish to change permissions for, then select Permissions....
5. A box will pop up asking you what kind of permissions you want to give your delegate. Use this pop up to determine what permissions you wish to give the delegate.
6. Select the check box next to Automatically send a message to delegate summarizing these permissions to send an email to your delegate informing them of their delegate status.
7. Select OK to finalize the process.
