Microsoft Exchange provides you with the ability of advanced mailbox configuration. You are able to configure Exchange mailbox so that any Mailbox/Distribution List user in CloudBlue Commerce can be granted with the following permissions:
Send Permissions:
- Send On Behalf Of – Mailbox/Distribution List user is able to send messages on behalf of another mailbox user.
For example, you configure the mailbox of User A to grant the Send On Behalf Of permission to mailbox/distribution list User B, so the User B is able to send a message on behalf of the User A.
- Send As – Mailbox/Distribution List user is able to send email messages as another mailbox user. With the Send As permission, the recipients of a message cannot identify whether the message was sent by the mailbox owner or another user that has been granted the Send As permission.
For example, you configure the mailbox of User A to grant the Send As permission to mailbox/distribution list User B. Sending a message, User B can enter email address of User A to the 'From' field of the message, so it will appear as the message was sent by User A (but actually it was sent from User B mailbox).
Mailbox Permissions:
- Full Access permission – Granting this permission to a user for a mailbox allows that user to log on to the mailbox and gain access to the contents of the entire mailbox: open mailbox folders, read, move and delete messages.
Note: Users with the Full Access permission cannot send messages as that mailbox. They can send messages as or on behalf of that mailbox only if they are additionally granted with the respective Send Permission.

The mailbox permissions configuration can be useful in cases when a manager delegates the management of their mailbox to the assistant, so the assistant gets an ability to send messages on behalf of or as the manager and/or to access their mailbox folders and its content.
You can grant specific permissions to Exchange Mailbox/Distribution list users in CloudBlue Commerce CP at Hosting > Configuration & Administration > Exchange > Mailboxes > [some mailbox] > Permissions tab.
