OWA access only to Shared or Exchange Online mailbox (not automatically added in Outlook)
Is there a way to give someone access to open an Office 365 Shared or Exchange Online mailbox in OWA and not automatically add it Outlook?
As admin I need to get to some of those mailboxes regularly but I don't want to have to change the permissions every time I need to get into one AND I don't want them opened up in Outlook all the time either.
Maybe turning off MAPI on the account? But for Shared mailboxes I would guess that most people with access want the account in Outlook...
Or a setting that isn't in the web interface but is only available in Powershell.
I can see this automatically adding the mailbox in Outlook being handy sometimes/usually but would rather have the option like old on-prem let you just add the box manually in Outlook.
I don't see any mention of this online, or anyone else asking it surprisingly.

Great! Thanks.
So mostly just a matter of not knowing they named it automapping.
