Send As Permissions

In addition to Send on Behalf of permissions, you can also configure Send As permissions. Send As permissions enable you to send a message and have it appear as if it came directly from another user. Configuring Send As permissions must be done through Active Directory Users and Computers. To configure Send As permissions, use the following steps:

1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers.

2. Open the Users container and select the your user object.

3. Open the property pages and select the Security tab.

4. Click Add to select the user to whom you want to grant permissions.

5. Click Add to add the user to the permissions and click OK.

6. Select the newly added user in the top section of the Security tab.

7. Scroll down in the Permissions box until you see Send As listed. Check the box for Allow. Your Security tab should now look similar to Figure 28.9.

   Figure 28.9. Use the Security tab to configure Send As permissions.

   

8. Click OK to save changes.

When Send As permissions are configured on the Exchange Server, the user you selected in step 5 can open a new email message, click the From field, and enter your name in the From field. When the recipient receives the message, it appears to have come from you.
