GetDelegate Operation

Topic Last Modified: 2008-09-05

The GetDelegate operation retrieves the delegate settings for a specific mailbox. This operation was introduced in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

GetDelegate Request Example

Description

The following code example shows how to retrieve the delegate settings for all the delegates that are set on user3's mailbox. All the permissions for each user are returned in the response.

Code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
               xmlns:t="https://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types">
  <soap:Header>
    <t:RequestServerVersion Version="Exchange2007_SP1"/>
  </soap:Header>
  <soap:Body>
    <GetDelegate xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages"
                 xmlns:t="https://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types"
                 IncludePermissions="true">
      <Mailbox>
        <t:EmailAddress>user3@example.com</t:EmailAddress>
      </Mailbox>
    </GetDelegate>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Comments

You can use the UserId element to specify individual users instead of returning all users who have delegate access permissions on the mailbox.

Note

Exchange Web Services does not support managing group delegates. EWS will return an error if the GetDelegate operation is called for a principal that has a security group delegate.

GetDelegate Response Example

Description

The following example of a GetDelegate response shows a successful response to a GetDelegate request. The response contains information about the delegate access permissions, whether the delegate can view private items, whether the delegate receives copies of meeting messages, and to whom meeting requests are delivered.
