Difference between delegation and sharing Understanding the different between Sharing and Delegation:

Account Delegation is when you want someone to manage your calendar, manage your email, send/accept invitations on your behalf, etc. It's a classic "boss with a personal assistant" scenario. Your delegate will always have access to two specific folders: Calendar and Inbox. (You cannot delegate the Tasks folder, you can only share the Tasks folder, however there is one exception: you will see delegated Tasks in iCal on Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6.)

Sharing(Classic way) If you want someone to have read-only or read access to your specific calendars or email folders, that's what Folder Sharing is for. You pick and choose which folders you want to share with another user. The user will not be able to send meeting invites or respond to email on your behalf, but will get event reminders and be able to read all the messages.

1.  Sharing own folders/calendars

1. Login to WebMail

2. In your calendar section in Kerio Connect client, right-click a calendar and select Sharing

3. Select the level of rights:

- can view — users cannot edit events - can change — users can edit events - is owner — users can edit events and change sharing rights

If you share your calendar publicly, Kerio Connect client assigns the can view rights (these settings cannot be changed).

4. Save the settings.

2.  Remove sharing rights

1. Go to the sharing dialog of a folder and click the x sign next to the user you wish to remove from sharing.

When somebody delegates you to act on their behalf, you automatically become a delegate. Kerio will display the person's Inbox and Calendar.

You can check or uncheck the deletion to activate or hide.
