Removing user permissions

You can remove user permissions to view or modify mailboxes and messages for a Global Mailbox user. By removing permissions from the User Explorer page of the Global Mailbox management tool, you can remove all permissions for a Global Mailbox user for multiple mailboxes.

Before you begin

Users must exist in the application. The user name is defined in the application and is associated with the permissions in Global Mailbox.

Only Global Mailbox administrators can remove user permissions.

About this task

To remove user permissions:

Procedure

  1. From the User Explorer page, select an application in the Explore by Application pane.
  2. Click the Find a User tab.
  3. Type the name of the user in the User field.
  4. Select a user from the list of matching names.
    When a user is selected, the table displays their existing user permissions.
  5. Select the row of user permissions for a mailbox that you want to remove.
    Your changes are automatically saved.
    Important: Checking the All Permissions check box for a record grants all permissions for that user on the mailbox, including application specific permissions not shown in the table. Changes are saved automatically. If one or more permissions for that user is revoked, the All Permissions check box becomes unchecked.

    Unchecking the All Permissions check box for a record revokes all permissions for that user on the mailbox, including application specific permissions not shown in the table. Changes are saved automatically. When revoking all permissions this way, the record remains and is not deleted from the system.
