Grant Full Access Permission in Exchange 2010 Mailbox

Spread the love




In Exchange 2010, you can grant “Full Access” permission to another user for a mailbox. User (say UserA) that have Full Access permission to a particular mailbox (say UserB) permits UserA to access and have full control of mailbox of UserB, but only “Full Access” permission doesn’t allow UserA to send email as UserB. In order to send email as other user, “Send As” permission is also explicitly required. From Exchange 2010 SP2 and higher when full access permission is assigned to a mailbox, auto-mapping feature is enabled by default. Auto-mapping feature allows Outlook application to add the additional mailbox in Outlook automatically. Administrators can turn off this auto-mapping feature from Exchange 2010 SP2 and higher. This article shows how you can grant Full Access permission in Exchange 2010 Mailbox.

There are two ways you can grant Full Access permission to a user to access another mailbox, they are Exchange Management Console and Exchange Management Shell. In the scenario I will be granting Full Access permission to Test02 so that user Test02 can access mailbox Test01.

Assigning Full Access Permission through Exchange Management Console

For assigning Full Access permission through Exchange Management Console. Expand Recipient Configuration → Click on Mailbox →  select Test01  → Click on “Manage Full Access Permission” from the action pane as shown below.
