Microsoft Outlook provides the option of sending an email on behalf of somebody else. This is particularly useful when scheduling meetings or sending invites on behalf of your manager or colleague. To send on behalf of someone, you must first be granted access. This lets you put in somebody's email address in the "From" field when composing the email. Leaving the "From" field blank reverts the sender to your email address. Only administrators or users can grant access to send emails on their behalf.
