4. Click Add, and then click OK.
5. In the Delegate Permissions dialog box, accept the default permissions settings or select custom access levels for Exchange folders.
6. To send a message to notify the delegate of the changed permissions, click to select the Automatically send a message to delegate summarizing these permissions check box.
7. If you want to grant additional permissions for the delegate to view private items, click to select the Delegate can see my private items check box.
8. Click OK two times to exit out of the Delegate Access screen.

6. Once you have finished, click OK and you have finished setting up your delegates using Skype for Business.
7. NOTE: Non-Enterprise voice customers cannot be set up as delegates.
