Solved O365 Group SendAs Strangeness

[dafyre]

Hi All...

I've got a bit of an odd one. I set up a new Office 365 Group (not distribution list).

I granted my account the "SendAs" permission, and I know that it is working... kind of.

If I do a new Email, and just click From -> Other Email, and type in my email in...

And then send the message, I'll immediately get a bounce message with a "you don't have permissions for that".

If I go through the From -> Other Email -> From -> Global Address Book (not offline address book) and then find the email I am looking for, it works fine, and then adds the email address to the other addresses drop down list.

If I go back to do a new message using the link put in the other addresses list, then it bombs again.

Anybody seen this before?

Edit: I am using Outlook 2013 for this.
My account is an owner, member, and in the "SendAs" settings for the group.

When did you make the change? The permissions take an not insignificant amount of time to propagate.

I created the group, and then made the change ~ an hour ago.

Guess I should have just been at least a little bit patient with it. The permissions finally updated over night... Go figure.

User error.

Purdy much. But I still blame Microsoft.

I found out there were some issues with folks doing stuff via the web interface and powershell that involved Distirbution Lists or O365 group permissions for 3 days this week.

Yep... Permissions can take a stupid long time to propagate.

There was some kind of O365 issue that was causing them to be slow this time. Normally when i do this, things happen in minutes, not hours.
