grant a user access to another's contacts
We have Exchange 2007 sp2 with Outlook 2007. I need to let a user have access to another's contacts. I've allowed to person to have full manage permissions but that doesn't seem to help. How do I accomplish this?

Hi Gene, This is something the user can configure in Outlook, see below http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/share-my-contacts-HP001111150.aspx

I've allowed to person to have full manage permissions but that doesn't seem to help. Hi Gene, Did you do it via EMC->Manage Full Access Permission? I made a test in my lab and it works. UserB is assigned Full Access Permission on UserA's mailbox. After that, UserB can open UserA's Contact folder via Outlook 2007(File->Open->Other User's Folder) What's the error message when the user(UserB) try to open another user's(UserA) contact in your scenario? By the way, you can also configurate contact sharing at client's side: Share a contacts folder with others http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/share-a-contacts-folder-with-others-HA001234174.aspx Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.
