Send-as and Send-on-behalf of for groups in Outlook
How is it supposed to work?
Following the instructions in the blog I have given "Send As" permission to a member of the group , but I cannot find how he can respond to a conversation in OWA using the shared identity of the Group instead of his individual personal identity.

Thanks for your answer, Vasil.
Unfortunately it appears to work in OWA when sending an email or responding to an email, but not when initiating or responding to a conversation in the conversation area of an Office 365 Group in OWA: am I missing something?
"Office 365 Group members who have been granted send-as or send-on-behalf-of permissions, can send email as or on-behalf-of the group from within the group space in Outlook." from https://portal.office.com/AdminPortal/home?switchtomodern=true#/MessageCenter?id=MC91725

In the Group page, press the small arrow below the compose box. Then follow the same procedure to remove your address and add the Group one.
- Eddy VeldboerJun 02, 2017Copper ContributorThanks, removing and manually typing the from address is the solution. I had the expectation when using the selection box at the 'from' field the group from email address would be an option to choose from.
