Hi I am an Exchange administartor for 50000+ mailboxes in a company.We are using Active sync .As a full administraror I can openany user'scontact folder and add another user in the permission tab.But I need to delegate this work to another group/team( who dont have exchange permission), so that they can add/edit the permission in contact folder.What is the minimum access I can give to those group to edit only thecontact folder of others?More in detail:Group A :- A team which doesnt have any exchange/Mailbox access as of now.- (Say Service Desk)User 1 - A normal user who is using exchange 2003 mailbox and Active syncGroup A requiredaccess to onlyall mailboxes contact folder( including user1) to import the contacts.Please let me know if I need to expalin it more clearly..regardsSAK
