Users with Full Access to a Mailbox are unable to perform approvals from within this Mailbox

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

I have created a Power Automate flow with an approval. The approval request is sent to a User Mailbox that has multiple people with Full Access rights. When the request is approved by any of these individuals, we receive the error message: 'Failed to validate the signature of the actionable message card.' Does anyone have an idea how we can resolve this?

    Same problem here. Users have "Send As", "Send on behalf of", and "Full Access" to a user account that is being used as a shared mailbox. When trying to approve from the shared user's mailbox they get the same error message. One solution on a different post was to get them to sign-in as the shared user instead of just accessing the user's mailbox from their own Outlook. I find that solution not feasible as they can read and respond as that user but if they want to approve they need to sign-out of their account, then sign-in as the shared account, make the approval, and then sign-out as the shared, then sign-in as their own account. Way too many steps.

     

    The https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/actionable-messages/actionable-messages-faq explicitly says that shared or group mailboxes cannot be used for the actionable approvals, which is why I was trying to use a user's mailbox that is shared via delegate permissions as this seems the only supported way, but alas we get "Failed to validate the signature of the actionable message card."

     

    I asked CoPilot about the approvals and it firmly stated having "Full Access" was sufficient to make approvals on behalf of another user account. 

     

    If you did find a solution, I would appreciate hearing it!
