Hi,

I need to give restricted access to the items in a public folder on an exchange server. For example, Lets assume that there is a public contact folder with 100 contacts in that. Now there are say 5 users who have access permissions to this public contact folder. What we need to implement is that all 5 users should not be able to see all 100 contacts. I want to define a criteria which says that a particular user can see only a certain number of contacts out of all the contacts present in this public contact folder.

Could somebody please let me know if such a thing is possible and if yes, then how to go ahead and achieve it.

Thanks
Vinay

The MS recommended way of maintaining contacts is to not keep them in public folders but rather, create user objects or contacts in a special OU in your active directory. Then create and permission custom address lists

I don't know how you'd be able to do this with your current setup. Maybe a third party app...

You can only set permissions on the Folder itself, not to objects inside that folder (except further Folders).
