Outlook message encryption - avoid delegate access
Dear community,
we have following challenge.
We would like to use the message encryption option (OME)
It´s simple to implement and fits for most of our needs.
However we have one scenario where it doesnt fits or at least I couldnt find a solution in this community or in Internet.
Our director wants to delegate access to his assistant including inbox but shouldnt be able read encrypted emails
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks for your support...
- Hello, if you can restrict the assistant to use Outlook for Windows only it's possible.

If I understand you well, OME don´t have a solution for this use case, right?
To somehow block all except Outlook Windows dont think it is a good idea.
It will be challeging to assure never get access..
Maybe there is a way via Powershell?
Question is if it is possible...
Thanks a lot anyway 🙂
- OME isn't really designed to handle complex access situations. If I were you. I'd consider using a sensitivity label that restricts access to a limited set of reciipients.
