GetDelegate request example

Description

The following code example shows how to retrieve the delegate settings for all the delegates that are set on user3's mailbox. All the permissions for each user are returned in the response.

Code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
               xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types">
  <soap:Header>
    <t:RequestServerVersion Version="Exchange2007_SP1"/>
  </soap:Header>
  <soap:Body>
    <GetDelegate xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages"
                 xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types"
                 IncludePermissions="true">
      <Mailbox>
        <t:EmailAddress>[email protected]</t:EmailAddress>
      </Mailbox>
    </GetDelegate>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Comments

You can use the UserId element to specify individual users instead of returning all users who have delegate access permissions on the mailbox.

Note

Exchange Web Services (EWS) does not support managing group delegates. EWS will return an error if the GetDelegate operation is called for a principal that has a security group delegate.
