Simplify Mailbox Delegation Management in Exchange Online With EasyEntra

Exchange Online administrators know the struggle of tracking mailbox delegation. Without a centralized view, it’s difficult to quickly identify who has access to which mailboxes. This gap not only wastes time but can also lead to security oversights. EasyEntra addresses this challenge head-on with a powerful, actionable report that gives you instant insight into delegated access – whether it’s SendAs, SendOnBehalf, or FullAccess permissions.

The Challenge

In many organizations, mailbox delegation in Exchange Online is managed piecemeal. There’s no central overview, making it nearly impossible to quickly determine:

  • Which users have what specific mailbox rights.
  • How to identify and rectify unauthorized or outdated access.
  • The overall impact of delegation on security and administration.

This fragmented approach results in a labor-intensive process that can delay crucial administrative decisions.

Introducing the Delegated Access Report Feature

EasyEntra’s Delegated Access Report feature brings clarity to mailbox delegation by allowing you to:

  • Identify Delegated Access: Quickly generate reports showing which users have delegated permissions (SendAs, SendOnBehalf, FullAccess).
  • Search & Filter: Use intuitive text queries to instantly search any column in the report. For instance:
    • 💡 Which User Mailboxes does a given user have SendAs permissions to?
    • 🎯 Which Shared Mailboxes does a user have FullAccess to?
    • 🔍 Who can access mailboxes in the Finance Department?
  • Export Data: Easily copy and paste report data into Excel, Notepad, or any other tool for further analysis or stakeholder review.
  • Remove Delegation On-the-Fly: Address any issues by directly removing unnecessary or outdated mailbox delegations from within the report.

How It Works

Creating a Delegated Access Report with EasyEntra is quick and straightforward:

  1. Create a Report Template:
    • Go to Entra ID, right-click on Reports, and select “New Report Template”.
    • Set the Category to Mailboxes and the Type to DelegatedAccess.
  2. Define the Scope:
    • Configure the report template’s Scope to narrow down your focus to specific mailboxes or permission types. You can also leave it blank to scan all mailbox delegation.
  3. Run the Report:
    • Click Run to execute the report. (Note: In very large environments with over 10,000 mailboxes, the process may take several minutes or even hours.)
  4. Analyze the Data:
    • Once the report completes, double-click it to view and filter its contents using simple text queries. For example, use commands like acc=ful to quickly narrow down the results to only Full Access permissions.
  5. Export & Act:
    • Select the rows you need, copy them (CTRL + C), and paste them (CTRL + V) into Excel or another application for quick review and action.
