Introduction

If you want to allow a user to ‘Send-as’ a Universal Distribution Group, you cannot do this by right clicking the Distribution Group in Exchange and managing send-as permissions as you would with a shared mailbox or user mailbox.

Guide

However, the following will allow you to carry this task using Active Directory instead of from within Exchange:

Open Active Directory Users & Computers
Activate Advanced Features in the View menu
Find the distribution list you want to send as
Open the properties and go to the Security tab
Add the user or group in question
Check the Send As permission
Apply/OK

This should now give the end user permissions to send as a Distribution Group.
