UNDER THE HOOD
The configuration and automation engine behind SharedConX — one place to define how permissions behave, one service that keeps executing it, indefinitely, without anyone touching Exchange by hand.
SharedConX.Manager is the admin console where every rule lives: which security-group naming pattern maps to which permission, how automapping behaves, what gets audited, and how the environment connects to Exchange. Nothing runs from here directly — Manager writes the configuration that SharedConX.Core then executes on schedule.
SharedConX.Core is the background service that reads the configuration from Manager and does the actual work: scanning mailboxes, matching security groups by regex, applying or removing permissions, and logging every step. It runs unattended on a schedule and reports its findings back through the Log Viewer.
SharedConX.Core console at startup — license validation, environment detection, and mailbox processing, all logged automatically.
Permissions are matched to security groups by naming convention, using regular expressions defined once in Manager. Automapping and account mapping can be toggled independently, alongside test settings for safe rollout.
| Full Access | Required for shared mailbox access. If no matching security group exists, the mailbox is skipped. |
|---|---|
| Read Permission | Optional, read-only access — same pattern structure, suffixed -(ReadPermission). |
| Send on Behalf | Grants Send on Behalf rights. Suffixed -(SoB). Recommended in its own dedicated group. |
| Send As | Grants Send As rights. Suffixed -(SendAs). Takes precedence over Send on Behalf. |
| Add group to mailbox | Automatically adds matching security groups to the shared mailbox. |
| Remove wrong groups / users | Cleans up groups or users not explicitly allowed by the configured patterns. |
| Testmode | Filter to a specific mailbox subset to validate configuration before full rollout. |
SharedConX.Manager connects to Exchange Online using a certificate, client secret, or access token — and configures mailbox auditing (Admin / Delegate / Owner actions) directly from the same tab.
Manager can auto-detect your Exchange topology (On-Premises, Hybrid, or Online) and shows exactly how many shared mailboxes are licensed versus in use.
Every action SharedConX.Core takes — matched groups, applied permissions, skipped mailboxes, warnings — is written to a structured log, viewable directly inside Manager.
