Hi,

What client permissions are required for deleting a public folder?

Best regards,

Hello,

If you need to delete items that the user owns in the specified public folder, you need to have "DeleteOwnedItems" permission.

If you need to delete all items in the specified public folder, you need to have "DeleteAllItems" permission.

You can use Add-PublicFolderClientPermission cmdlet to add proper permission.

Here is the article for your reference.

Hi,

For example the public folder hierachy is like

Folder01

 Sub01

 Sub02

The users have PublishingEditor permissions on all public folders.

All users are able to delete content (E-Mails) within all public folders, but can only delete the folders (Sub01,Sub02,...) itself which they have created (are owners).

They are not able to delete all folders.

The users should not be able to change permissions within public folders, but should be able to create and delete everything.

Is this a normal behavior and do they really need to have owner permission to delete everything within public folders?

It is a Exchange Server 2010 with SP3 UR2.
