Admin rights in Outlook 2000
 

I am an IT student doing an internship at a non-profit. They are using MS
Outlook 2000 on their recetpionist machine. It has 2 people logging in under
different logins/passwords, but they share 1 email address
). The users do NOT have admin rights, but must be able
to share the email address and calendar. Right now I have it set up with
Admin rights and the *.pst in in the All Users subfolder. But when I apply
admin rights to keep them from making changes they can no longer reach the
*.pst file. How can I fix this problem?

It would be easy if they had their own email addresses, but they must share
this one, and the calendar.

I am a student trying to understand the complexities of network security and
multi-user functionality.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

You didn't mention what operating system is in use, but if I go with the
latest and greatest being Windows XP, you could be hitting restrictions in
NTFS permissions. For example, if you put the *.PST file in the \documents
and settings\All Users\Documents then the users in question must have a
minimum of Power User rights to work with the PST file(s) in Outlook.

neo,

I rudely never took the time to thank you for your help. Your reply
triggered my thinking and sent me down the right path. Thanks again.
