Description

SendAs permission allows a user or group members to send messages that appear to come from the specified mailbox, mail contact, mail user, or group.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Add-RecipientPermission "Help Desk" -AccessRights SendAs -Trustee "Ayla Kol"

This example gives the user Ayla Kol SendAs permission for the mailbox Help Desk. Ayla can send messages that appear to come directly from the Help Desk mailbox.

Parameters

-AccessRights

The AccessRights parameter specifies the permission that you want to add for the trustee on the target recipient. The only valid value for this parameter is SendAs.

Type:MultiValuedProperty
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Online

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

This cmdlet has a built-in pause, so use -Confirm:$false to skip the confirmation.
