Modifying people's access to a Shared Mailbox/Distribution List/Calendar
NOTE: The below can be applied to any of the below scenarios:
- Shared mailbox
- Distribution List (DL)
- Calendar
- Open Outlook
- Click on Address Book under the Home tab
- Search for desired option e.g. SM-<MailboxName> or <DLName>
EXAMPLE: SM-UniSA Apple Admin
NOTE:
- All Shared mailboxes and Calendars start with 'SM'
- DL don't start with an abbreviation, you just search for the DL name
- Double click the search result you wish to edit
NOTE: The endings indicate the access you will be granting if users are added to that group:
- -FA allows full access to the mailbox e.g. SM-UniSA Apple Admin-FA
- -SA allows send as access from that mailbox e.g. SM-UniSA Apple Admin-SA
NOTE: -SA access is pointless without -FA access
- -B allows people to make bookings in the calendar
NOTE: Older calendars will not have this option and you will instead have to add people to -FA option
- -AR allows people to see specific booking details in calendars, instead of only seeing that the room is booked.
- -O allows people to edit the other options e.g. SM-UniSA Apple Admin-SA
There are instances where there are owners of the -O group and can add/remove members in the owner group
NOTE: The IT Help Desk can add you to this option if your manager sends them an email requesting it, containing
> your name
> the name/email address of the mailbox/DL in question
- Click Modify Members
- Either click Add and find desired staff; or
click on a staff members name and then click Remove to delete them
- Click OK on the SM/DL window
NOTE: If OK is not clickable then you do not have the nessecary access and will need to speak to an owner. If you were only recently added as a owner you will need to log off your PC and then on again for it to take effect.
- Click OK again - the list is now updated
NOTE: If OK is not clickable then you do not have the necessary access and will need to speak to an owner. If you were only recently added as a owner you will need to log off your PC and then on again for it to take effect.
NOTE: once you have added someone they need to log off the PC and onto it again to update their access.
