    Description 

    User table 

    To set access permissions for a user, select the user in the table, then select the options you require in the Permissions group.

    To add a user to the table, click Add. Enter the name of the user in the Add User dialog, then click OK. Alternatively, to select a user from a GAL or a list of contacts, click on the Addressbook button. Use the Select Contacts from Addressbook dialog to select a user.

    To delete a user from the table, select the user in the table, then click Remove.

    Role

    Select the role for the user from the drop-down list. A set of permissions is associated with each role. For example, if you select the Reviewer role, the following options are selected automatically:

    • Read items

    • Folder visible

    • The None option in the Edit Items group

    • The None option in the Delete Items group

    You can modify the permissions after you select a role for the user. When you modify the permissions, the value in the drop-down list changes to the appropriate role. If the permissions you select do not match a role, the value in drop-down list changes to Custom.
