MailItem.PermissionService property (Outlook)

Sets or returns an OlPermissionService constant that determines the permission service that will be used when sending a message protected by Information Rights Management (IRM). Read/write.

Syntax

expression. PermissionService

expression A variable that represents a MailItem object.

Remarks

This property is useful only if you have more than one permission identity for a particular SMTP address.

While you can view content that is protected by IRM on any computer running the 2007 Microsoft Office system or a later version, you must have Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003, Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, or a later version of Outlook to create or send an email that is protected by IRM.

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example demonstrates how to specify the permission service before sending an item. Replace 'Dan Wilson' with a valid recipient name before running this example.

Sub SendMyMail() 
 
 Set myItem = Outlook.CreateItem(olMailItem) 
 
 myItem.To = "Dan Wilson" 
 
 myItem.Subject = "Data files information" 
 
 myItem.Permission = olDoNotForward 
 
 myItem.PermissionService = olWindows 
 
 myItem.Send 
 
End Sub
