PERMISSIONS

IHS Calendar Sharing Policy

The IHS Calendar Sharing Policy has the following setting:

1. By default, nobody may view a calendar without the owner’s permission.

2. Private appointments cannot be viewed by anyone but the owner.

3. Appointments of added calendars will show information about Free / Busy state. The owner may extend/limit/withdraw these permissions at any time.

IHS-IT will NOT change any individual calendar permissions settings without explicit consent of the owner, communicated to IHS-IT by the owner her-/himself in written form. Thus only the owner of the calendar can allow access to their calendar or calendar details, or ask IHS-IT to change the permissions!

Everybody may change the setting on their own (like in 6.2. Calendar Permissions).

If you invited an outstanding person (of IHS) there are no changes on the permissions to make (Free / Busy information of the non-IHS-person is not available.)

Calendar Permissions

Select the calendar you wish to set sharing permissions for, and right-click it to bring up the menu shown below. Choose Properties and then click on the Permissions tab.

This will open the Calendar Properties dialog.

The area marked red details the exact level of access that an individual user will have, with the options selected in the Permission Level pull-down. As you can see, Default (everyone else) is set to None.

DELEGATE ACCESS

On your mailbox

WARNING: The settings described in the following will reveal your privacy! If you’re receiving business mail as well as private mail you should leave the following settings at their defaults!

Please keep in mind that you cannot be forced to give delegate access to your mailbox. Don’t hesitate to contact the Employee’s Council if you are in doubt about your rights!

In the folder list, right-click on a mailbox or folder name and select Properties.

22 Author: IHS-IT

In the Properties dialog select the Permissions tab. Click Add...

Click OK. The delegate can now add your mailbox to his/her folder list.

Note: You can set different permission levels for individual folders in your mailbox, using the method described above.

On your calendar

In Outlook 2010, you can set up Delegate Access to your Calendar allowing people you choose to see, edit, or send items on your behalf including creating and responding to meeting requests.

Three types of delegates

Editor

Create, read, modify and delete your Calendar items.

When you make someone an editor, you may also decide to have that person receive meeting related e-mails that are sent to you. An editor can create meetings and accept or decline meeting requests on your behalf.

You may allow a delegate with editor access to view items that you have marked as private (private items can only be viewed by the editor).

Author

Create and read your Calendar items.

An Author can create new meetings in your calendar but is unable to modify existing calendar items or to change anything else.

24 Author: IHS-IT

February, 2016

An Author is less powerful than an Editor.

You may allow a delegate with author access to view items that you have marked as private (private items can only be viewed by the author).

Reviewer

Read items only.

A reviewer can view your Calendar but cannot make any changes to it.

You may allow a delegate with reviewer access to view items that you have marked as private (private items can only be viewed by the reviewer).

To delegate access

To delegate access to someone, switch to your calendar. Go to the File tab and click the Account Settings button (located under Account Information). From the drop-down list, select Delegate Access.

In the Delegates window, click on the Add button.

25 Author: IHS-IT

The Global Address List will open. Find the person to whom you would like to give delegate access, double-click the persons entry to select it click OK. This brings up the Delegate Permissions window.

Open the drop-down menu next to calendar. You will be presented with the three mail options (Editor, Author, Reviewer) described in the table above. The fourth option None means that the delegate will not be able to access the calendar feature of your account.

To have a delegate receiving copies of meeting-related messages that are sent to you, please tick the checkbox Delegate receives copies of meeting-related messages sent to me. If the checkbox is already ticked and you do not want to delegates to receive copies of meeting-related messages, untick the checkbox.

Please note the two checkboxes at the very bottom of the dialog.
