Delegate on Behalf of Owner

MORE INFORMATION

After you configure the Delegate permissions, there a couple of things you may notice:

• When you go back to look at the Delegates tab settings, you may notice that the permissions for Inbox have been changed to Custom. This is correct. Do not change it back to Editor, or you will ruin the Send on Behalf of permissions.



• If you look at the properties of the owner's mailbox in the Exchange Server Administrator program, you may notice that the Delivery Options tab contains the delegate's alias under the Give Send On Behalf of permission to section. This also is correct.
