5.21. Granting Send-as Permissions

Problem

You have a user who needs to be able to send messages as another user.

Solution

Using a graphical user interface

  1. Log on to any machine in your domain that has the Exchange management tools installed.

  2. Open the ADUC snap-in (Users and Computers.msc).

  3. Choose the View menu's Advanced Features command.

  4. Browse to your Users OU.

  5. Right-click the mailbox you wish to allow others to send mail as and click Properties.

  6. Select the Security tab.

  7. Under Group or user names, click Add.

  8. Type the account name of the user that needs to be able to send mail as the user whose account you've selected, and click Check Names. Click OK.

  9. Select Allow next to Send As on the Permissions list. Click OK.

Discussion

We tried to create scripts for both this recipe and Recipe 5.22 but neither one was really scriptable, because there are actually two parts to the delegation of these rights—delegating access to the actual attribute and creating the necessary ACLs. This made scripting a solution impractical.

Send-as permissions provide the ability for one user to send mail that appears to be from another user. This kind of permission is often granted in cases where a user is unable to access their mailbox for a period of time (due to vacation or an extended leave of absence), but it must appear that they are available, so someone else responds to new messages in their place.
