Monitor delegate access in Outlook

Question

I have set up proxy access in Outlook. Can I monitor whether they will steal some privacy information and whether there are security risks in this aspect of the proxy?

Hi @Keale

Delegate access in Outlook allows you to delegate certain tasks to others, such as managing your email and calendar. However, it also means that the people you delegate to have access to your private information, such as your messages, contacts, and appointments. Therefore, you should only grant proxy access to someone you trust who has a legitimate need to act on your behalf.

There are some ways to monitor and control the delegate access in Outlook, such as:

• You can set different levels of permissions for each folder that you share with your delegate.
• You can view the delegate access settings in Outlook by clicking File > Account Settings > Delegate Access.
• You can check the Sent Items folder of your mailbox to see if any messages were sent by your delegate on your behalf.

Hope this helps!
