Investigating - We have identified an issue with licensing for Zoom Webinars where some users who have been allocated a license appear to no longer be able to use the Zoom Webinar functionality. We are in the process of investigating this.


If you need to use the Zoom Webinar functionality within the next few days, could I please ask you to check whether you can still access this functionality as soon as possible. If you find you cannot access Zoom Webinars, then please log a call with the IT Service Desk for us to address this issue individually whilst working towards a wider solution.

Identified - We have been made aware that some users who previously had full delegate access to another mailbox have found that they no longer have permissions to everything within that mailbox.

This seems to have only affected a small number of users & mailboxes, and investigations continue in partnership with Microsoft into the root cause.

Anybody finding they no longer have full permissions in a mailbox they have been granted delegated access to is advised to contact the mailbox owner to request that they grant them full delegate access again, which should resolve the issue.

Microsoft provide instructions on how to grant another users full delegate access to your mailbox on their support pages at
