Review calendar delegate permissions for an executive assistant
A practical OutsourcingAssistant.com routine for this operating risk: Old or broad calendar permissions can expose private events and allow unintended changes.
Define the decision before the task
Old or broad calendar permissions can expose private events and allow unintended changes. Name the intended result, accountable owner, and actions that remain proposals.
Assemble the source packet
Collect calendar owner, delegate list, permission level, purpose, last use, and review date. Keep originals and label absent, stale, or contradictory information.
Move through visible states
The assistant should inventory grants, connect each grant to active work, and prepare owner decisions. Track received, checking, blocked, ready for review, approved, and closed separately.
Apply the authority boundary
Never expand permissions, reveal private-event details, or remove access without authorization.
Walk through a realistic exception
A former project assistant retains edit access. The reviewer records the stale grant for the calendar owner. Record the evidence, stop point, and next decision owner.
Design the time-zone handoff
State the Philippine Time work window and owner review window. Include what changed, evidence checked, open question, consequence of waiting, and next permitted action.
Review reconstructable samples
Sample ordinary work and every high-consequence exception. A reviewer should be able to recreate why the assistant had to inventory grants, connect each grant to active work, and prepare owner decisions.
Improve the routine safely
When a question repeats, revise the checklist or examples. Change access or authority only through an explicit owner-approved update.
Keep planning

How should this routine be reviewed?
Review initial samples closely, retain evidence for corrections, and inspect every exception until the process is stable.
