| Full Access | Users with this permission can view the mailbox and calendar associated with the resource account. This does not allow the user to send messages from this mailbox. Consider this "read-only" access to the resource account. |
| Send As | Users with this permission can send emails from the email address associated with the resource account. |
| Send on Behalf | Users with this permission can send emails via the email address associated with the resource account, with an additional detail noting which user wrote the content of the email, e.g., "john.doe@austin.utexas.edu on behalf of LAITS@austin.utexas.edu". |
