Delegate Access

Group or Shared Inboxes

You can request delegate access for a group or shared inbox. Delegate access can only be used through a browser. Once delegate access is approved, an email will be sent to your primary email for confirmation. You will have 24 hours to confirm you would like the delegate access or else the request will have to be re-submitted.
