Setting Up a Public Folder Owner or Contact

The owner and contact of a public folder have special permissions on the public folder. A public folder owner can design public folders and grant other users permissions. A public folder contact receives notification when there are public folder conflicts or the contents of a public folder exceed the storage limit. Only a public folder owner or an administrator using the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program can make someone a public folder owner or contact.

3. Choose Add, double-click the name of the user to which you are granting permissions, and then choose OK.
4. Select the name of the user you added.
