Ms Outlook - stop being a delegate

Question

_{Thursday, January 19, 2017 6:43 PM}

I am using Outlook 2016. I am a delegate for a former supervisor. I no longer wish to be her delegate. How do I remove delegate access on my end? (she is not readily available to do it herself)

In Exchange, you as a delegate can not remove the delegated permissions. However you can unmap them from Outlook.

For eg:- User-A Decides to grant fullaccess on his personal mailbox (or any sort of permission) to user-B. It is only User-A that has the power of attorney :) to remove the delegate access. Else, an Exchange administrator will help you overcome this problem. The admin will run below command to remove the permission

Remove-mailboxpermission -Identity [email protected] -user [email protected] -accessrights Fullaccess -inheritancetype all 

How to unmap the supervisor's mailbox from Outlook:-

if you want to get rid of User-A's Calendar from your personal mailbox, it can be achieved by:-

- Navigate to your calendar > Right click on User-A's calendar > Delete Calendar

Also, you can unmap User-A's mailbox  by following below:-

- Open Outlook > File > Account Settings > Account settings > Change > More settings > Advanced > Under "Open these additional mailboxes" > You will see your former supervisor's name added > Remove it and restart your outlook 

Note:- Unmapping a mailbox/Calendar would not remove the permission. 

Hope this helps
