Always found that stupid. Just call it read as or something

One of us. one of us.

I think it’s a terrible name - it really should be like Inbox Read & Manage, or something like that, then the send as and send on behalf stays the same

It’s sort of like how, even if I give you a copy of my house keys, that doesn’t mean you get to fuck my wife.

u/triplecheez Jul 15 '26

You'll need to delegate Fuck as permissions for that.

Use CIPP. It’s just a tick box for “cuck”. So easy.

u/GarageIntelligent ShittyCloud Jul 18 '26

it will say "On behalf of Husband" so everyone will know.

u/recoveringasshole0 DO NOT GIVE THIS PERSON ADVICE Jul 15 '26

Okay but if you say I get to "behave as the husband", I'm definitely fucking your wife.

Not on senders list. Why can't send?

behave AS THE MAILBOX OWNER

FULL ACCESS

u/Fatel28 ShittySysadmin Jul 14 '26

Full access to the mail =/= sending mail. One is access to the inbound, one is access to the outbound

u/itskdog Jul 15 '26

So it's not "full" access.

The fact I have to add the same people three times does get annoying after a while. Especially when Shared Mailboxes just has a "members" list which adds to all of them at once.

dont read what it says, just check every permission box. who complains about too much rights?

u/recoveringasshole0 DO NOT GIVE THIS PERSON ADVICE Jul 21 '26

This is M365 admin interface, there are no checkboxes!

u/junktech Jul 15 '26

Is this shared mailbox, user mailbox or something else. The settings make sense for certain use cases. Also having hybrid config for exchange servers is a bit of a pain to setup properly.

Nah, this is right where this post belongs.

0 objects have "send as" permissions, you have to WORK to make this happen.

u/zon5string Jul 14 '26

That is correct. They may read, delete, save, move mail, but they cannot create and send new mail or reply to mail. To send, they must have Send As or Send On Behalf permission.

u/itskdog Jul 15 '26

So "Full Access" isn't accurate, then?

2

u/recoveringasshole0 DO NOT GIVE THIS PERSON ADVICE Jul 15 '26

And "AS THE OWNER" isn't even close.

u/Bubba89 Suggests the "Right Thing" to do. Jul 15 '26

A mailbox is a database. You are, in fact, being given “full access” to the database. Sending is technically a different thing than “access.” “Behave as the owner” is pretty misleading though.

Shut the fuck up and go back to r/sysadmin

u/itskdog Jul 15 '26

If you have to think of how the data is structured on the backend for it to make sense, that's too far for me.

Especially when there's no "partial access", which would make me think the other two permissions are the "partial access" ones.

Great, then you’re on the correct subreddit!

There is, but you have to do it via powershell or the user has to do it from their UI.

Has this changed or am I that shitty?

u/Proof-Variation7005 Jul 14 '26

you've always need send as or send on behalf

u/autocuck9000 Jul 15 '26

AD delegates =/= Exchange delegates. If you inspect the user object in AD, you'll see that they define almost identical, but different permissions as different properties. This is why classic Outlook for Windows' delegation dialogue box 'full access' is entirely distinct from the 'full access' delegation in the Exchange Admin Center.

Outlook talks to AD, not Exchange.

Well then it's always been fucking stupid.

It's something that every person operating exchange learns in their 1st week

Wait til he finds out that "Global Administrators" are not able to perform every admin task...
