Be sure that before you do anything, check to see the local legalities of doing such a step.
If it is ok legaly, be sure to get it in writing.
Also, you may or may not have internal policies about notifying the employees of their e-mails being monitored. You'll need to follow those guidelines as well.
And before an administrator goes anywhere near a user's mailbox, I should make sure that authorization and approval is received from the management (and preferably the legal department). In many countries such access is deemed to be a breach of privacy unless it is justified under clear and agreed guidelines. Be careful...
- AMEN!
You need to grant full access permission for the required mailboxes to your directors. This can be done from Exchange Admin Center > Mailbox Settings > Delegation.
- Or artenatively, you can use PowerShell for configuring such delegation :-)
