Add Shared Mailboxes

Shared mailboxes containing contacts extend the default contact sources Entra ID (Organizational Contacts) and your Outlook contacts (Personal Contacts). A user must be authorized on the Contacts folder of a shared mailbox to be able to retrieve it's contacts.

If you don't want to provide Full Access to the shared mailbox in the Exchange Admin Center GUI (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/collaboration-exo/shared-mailboxes#which-permissions-should-you-use), you can use PowerShell to grant permisisons to the Contacts folder only.

Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity <SHARED MAILBOX ADDRESS>:\Contacts -User "<USER OR MAIL-ENABLED SECURITY GROUP NAME>" -AccessRights Reviewer

New shared mailboxes can be added by entering the corresponding email address in the Settings tab. You can add up to 5 shared mailboxes.

Currently, each user must add the shared mailbox individually. If you wish to assign a shared mailbox to all users or a specific security group, please contact us ([e-mail]) and provide the shared mailbox address and your M365 tenant-id.

Currently, there is no lookup field. Please make sure, the shared mailbox address really exists.
