Check your permission level on someone else's folder

This feature requires Microsoft Exchange.

1. Select the type of folder you want to check permissions on. 

   A private folder that someone gave you sharing permissions for

   1. On the File menu, point to Open, and then click Other User's Folder.
   2. In the Name box, type the name of the person who granted you sharing or delegate access permissions, or click Name to select from a list.

   A public folder

   • In the Folder List, click Public Folders, and then click the folder you want.

   If the folder you want is located within another folder, click the plus (+) sign next to each subfolder until you find the folder you want.

2. Right-click the folder, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Summary tab. Your permission level appears under Your permissions.

If the Permissions tab appears instead of the Summary tab, you have owner permission. If neither tab appears, you do not have permission to view or change the folder properties.
