How can we improve the tenant admin features O365?

← Office 365 Admin

Allow automapping on shared mailbox folders independent of access permission type.

Auto mapping to a shared mailbox should be allowed even if the user doesn't have Full permissions. Many times I have to manually add in Outlook and on a large organization of over 3000 users is time consuming.

    we have over 5000 users and this features is mandatory to have for our environment.

    In a Corporate Environment, or even in an Educational Environment when you are dealing with constantly fluctuating employees who should or should not have access to various Shared Email or Resources provided in Exchange or any other environment, having individuals granted specific permissions is not the most ideal.

    Most best practice concepts is to assign users to groups and having groups specified for who can and cannot do things, otherwise, your hierarchy for things will become unmanageable when additional folders are create and the clean up of said shared resources becomes literally a cludge of multiple undefined SIDs at various levels.

    Even in the place I am in, I am seeing a nightmare of how things are organized by previous admins without the use of security groups to bring a form of sanity not just in the File Sharing area, but also in Shared Mailboxes.

    Auto-mapping is an awesome feature, but we have a lot of mailboxes where granting Full Access to our users is simply not going to work in our favor. It would be amazing if the auto mapping feature would be decoupled from granting Full Access and be a separate option, regardless of permissions.
