  • Hello,

    You need to delegate the access to it:

    
    
    Add-MailboxPermission -Identity shared_mailbox -User user_name -AccessRights FullAccess
    Add-ADPermission -Identity shared_mailbox -User user_name -ExtendedRights "Send As"
    The first command allows user to access shared mailbox content. The second one allows to send emails as shared mailbox. You can also use Exchange Admin Center GUI to delegate access to the mailbox.

  • Hi,

    According to above description, please login EAC with Exchange administrator, expand to Recipients and Shared. Right-click shared mailbox and expand Mailbox Delegation, figure as below:

    For example, I assign one have full access permission to mailbox shared1.

    Then mailbox shared1's profile will display one's Outlook client, as Mark mention.
    Moreover, we can login OWA with one's credential, click "Open another mailbox" to open shared1 for testing.

    If it get something wrong, please post the screenshot for assistance.

  • Hi,

    When you give a user access to the shared mailbox, does the shared mailbox appear in their Outlook profile? You should see it as a new folder on the left pane.

    Thanks.
