Author - An Author will be able to read, create, modify, and delete items that he/she has created on your behalf. For example, a delegate Author can create task requests and meeting requests directly in your Task or Calendar folder, and then send either item on your behalf.
Editor - An Editior can do everything an Author can do, plus modify and delete items you have created.
Reviewer - A Reviewer can read items; for example a delegate with Reviewer permission can read messages in another person's Inbox.
