An Exchange Server user can delete a public folder and the subfolders if the user has Owner permissions to access the public folder

SYMPTOMS

If a Microsoft Exchange Server user has Owner permissions to access a public folder, the user can delete the public folder and the subfolders. The user can do this even if one of the following conditions is true:
  • The user does not have permissions to subfolders of that public folder.
  • The user has permissions other than the Owner permissions that let the user access the subfolders, such as Reviewer or Contributor permissions. However, the user does not have permissions to delete the subfolders.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, do not grant the user Owner permissions.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

If a user has Owner permissions to a public folder, the user effectively owns that whole public folder. This is true even when the user does not have permissions to view or to edit the subfolders.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
