Occasionally, you'll need to send mail or schedule a meeting and recipients would see that you have sent the mail on behalf of a group or as the group.
A tenant admin must enable group members to have Send on Behalf or Send As permissions before they can send mail using these features. The admin enables these permissions in the Exchange Admin Center.
Here's a summary of how the process works.
Tenant admin grants "send on behalf of" and "send as" permissions to members of the group.
