Shared UTORexchange Mailbox - Giving Delegate Access to Others using Outlook for Windows

If you are the owner of a shared mailbox and wish to delegate access, you can only grant access to those who have a UTORexchange account.

You will access management groups which you will then modify to include people who require delegate access. The groups will have names like mailbox_name-FullAccess and mailbox_name-SendAs and indicate two levels of access:

• FullAccess gives the user the ability to read, delete and change items in the mailbox. Please note that if you want the user to be able to send on behalf of the shared mailbox, you must give them SendAs access as well.
• SendAs grants the user the ability to send a message on behalf of the shared mailbox).

13. At this point, you can add this group to your contacts so you can more easily modify group members (see the Modify Access Groups tip for instructions). Click Add to Contacts, then click Save & Close. Click OK to close the group window.
    
    
    
    
14. Repeat for the other group if desired, then close the Address Book window.
15. Since these groups are not intended for public use, they should not be in the Global Address List nor should the list of members be viewable. They are used only to manage who has full access or "send as" access for the departmental mailbox. Hide the access groups again using the Shared Mailbox Group Access Tool.

Those people who have been granted access will need to set up their email clients.
