I understand the difference between send as and send on behalf. The reason I want to use send on behalf is the fact that I want to give colleagues flexibility in managing their own shared mailboxes. If they have an assistant that needs access to the shared mailbox, they can use the send on behalf rights and delegate permissions.

I have granted my self access to the shared resource and tested granting someone send on behalf rights.(I had to set up a new profile). The problem is I keep getting errors when I am directly logged in to the mailbox. It does not allow me to grant send on behalf rights to another colleague without using EMC. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can remedy the situation? Or is this something I cannot do. I have to grant them send as rights in EMC?

I failed to describe my issues very well. I can add send on behalf rights and delegate access to my personal mailbox with no issues. Now I set-up this shared mailbox for a colleague, I am aware I can grant either send as or send on behalf in AD but what I want to do is to advise the colleague how he/she can manage the shared resource without going through IT all the time.

Scenario:
I created a share mailbox called Everyone's mailbox. I granted myself read, full access and change permissions to the mailbox. I created a profile in outlook and tried to grant someone send on behalf rights but I get and error when trying to do so.

I guess my real question is, how do you grant send on behalf rights through outlook without involving AD.
