If you receive an error message like the one below that says "Something went wrong. You don't have permission to perform this action," you do not have permissions to access this mailbox. If you feel that you should have access to that shared mailbox, please have the manager of that shared mailbox submit a helpdesk ticket to request that you be given access. This helpdesk ticket must come from the manager of the mailbox. IT will not grant access to shared mailboxes without the permission of the manager who controls that mailbox. something went wrong.PNG
