Securely manage mailboxes and distribution lists

Adjustments are necessary

Mailbox volume adjustments, absence management, changed settings for mail retrieval, sharing and locking for mobile devices, and updating distribution lists occur frequently and on demand. All tasks that could be completed faster and easier and that would be suitable for delegation. Unfortunately, administrative rights to Exchange Server are required for this.

Perform and delegate changes securely

What if the service desk or the departments themselves could make changes to selected mailbox properties, absence management, and distribution lists without requiring elevated rights to Exchange Server? Of course, it would only be the mailboxes and distribution lists that fall under their responsibility – traceable and transparent.

This reduces the costs of IT operations and ensures quality increases in our administration and support tasks vis-à-vis our customers.”
