Outlook – Folder Permission and Sharing Settings

Share this:

Another day, another #TechTipTuesday! Ever worked on a project and wanted to ensure all email communications were visible to you and your co-lead? What about those one-off scenarios where a reply instead of a reply-all gets sent?

Check out Permissions and Sharing settings for individual folders in Outlook! By creating a sub-folder in your inbox, you and those you desire to have visibility to all communications placed there, will have read or even write access to those emails. No need for delegate access!

  1. Navigate to the folder you wish to share.
  2. Right-click on the folder and select Sharing and permissions.
  3. In the Permissions for the folder window, if the person isn’t listed, click the plus button to add them.
  4. Enter the name or email address of the person you want to share with, then click Add.
  5. From the list of names, select the person you just added.
  6. In the Permissions section, choose the appropriate Permission level from the dropdown menu.
