I have had many requests over the past year from users that want to send as a distribution group as opposed to their primary account. This is useful when a user wants to send out something like an invoice from an email address such as accounting@domain.com. Fortunately, there is a way to easily grant a user or users permissions to send-as a distribution group using the Exchange Management Shell – Here is how:

1. Open the Exchange Management Shell as an Administrator.

2. Type in the following command, replacing GROUPNAME and USERNAME with the name of the distribution group that you want to grant the user(s) access to send as and the username(s) of the users that will be able to send-as this distribution group.

Add-ADPermission GROUPNAME -ExtendedRights Send-As -user USERNAME

Once you have entered that command for all of the users that will be sending as the distribution group, the user can now select the group in the FROM field of their Outlook client and send the message as that distribution group.
