Providing "Send As" Rights in Exchange
In Microsoft Exchange, users are able to access shared mailboxes (such as a Webmaster account) by providing mailbox access rights via the Exchange ACL. However, there are additional rights required if users wish to send emails as another user. Here's how to set it up:
- Open Active Directory Users and Computers and verify that the Advanced Features checkbox is selected under the View menu. Then double-click the mailbox user you would like to grant the send as permission to.
- Under the Security tab, click the Add... button and type in the username of the user(s) that will be granted the send as permission and then hit OK.
- Highlight the user(s) on the Security tab and click the Send As permission's "allow" checkbox. Click OK to accept the change.
- In Outlook, the user(s) will have to verify that the From: field is enabled in the message composition window. If it is not showing, it can be enabled from the View menu and activating the From Field.
- Once set up, the user just needs to make sure the From: field has the mailbox owner they have Send As permissions is listed.
