How do I give a person the rights to manage a Group in the GAB from Outlook?

[Kelvin]

Where are the rights set to allow another employee the rights to modify a
group in the Globel Addres Book?
As the Network Admin I have the rights in Outlook to make changes, but how
do I give an additional person the rights to manage a specific group?
In Exchange Management Console I've made the user the "Managed By" person. I
closed and reopened Outlook on their computer, but it still says they don't
have sufficiant rights. Do they have to log off the computer to get the
right or am I going down the wrong road to make this work?

In Outlook I can go here and make changes, I also need to assigne rights to
another user so they can manage a group.
Address Book.
Globel Address Book.
Open the group Managers.
In the Managers Properties, on the General Tab.
Choose Modify Members.
On the Distrubution List Members screen choose Add.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Kelvin

I should have said I'm using Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2007.

That's an AD permission you also need to grant write members.

1. Go to security tab of DL
2. click advanced
3. Add the user that needs the right to update membership. Double
click this user
4. click the properties tab. Allow the user "write members"

I'm sorry, what is DL?

Probably obvious but I'm drawing a blank.

DIstribution List. What you're calling a "group".

 

[Kelvin]

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, in the "Exchange
Management Console" under "Recipient Configureation\Distribution Group" is
where the group is that I'm trying to assign right to another user so they
can manage the group.

Are we talking about the same thing or are you talking about in Outlook
where there is "Distribution Lists"?

Yes distribution lists and distribution groups are frequently used
interchangeably.
