== Introduction ==
Email is used by the Hornbill applications in various processes. For example, Service Manager within Incident management it can be used to both receive [[What_are_Requests? |requests]] to create a call or to communicate progress or resolution of a request.
 
Your new Hornbill instance is equipped with a default mailbox (helpdesk) which has an inbound service and email address already configured. This can be used to get up and running more quickly. To begin using the default mailbox a new Security Role must be created. Before creating a new role for use with your shared mailbox, we recommend reading general information on the Hornbill Roles, please see the [[Roles|'''Roles''']] wiki page.

== Creating a Shared Mailbox Role ==
::[[File:New_Mailbox_Role.PNG|700px|right|thumb|<div align="center">'''Create a new Security Role'''</div>]]
=== Create a New Security Role ===
Navigate to '''''Home > System > Organisational Data > Roles''''' in Hornbill Administration
 
:Click 'Create New Role'(located to the top right of the list) and populate the fields as follows:-
:::* '''Role ID''': Mailbox – ''mySharedMailboxname''
:::* '''Privilege Level''': User
:::* '''Type''': Security
:::* '''Description''': This Role will be used to grant access to the ''mySharedMailboxname'' Shared Mailbox
 
:At this stage the "Applications" and "Shared Mailboxes" fields aren't active so simply click 'Create Role'
<br>
<br>
=== Associate a Shared Mailbox to the New Role ===
::[[File:Mailbox_Role_Select_Mailbox.PNG|700px|right|thumb|<div align="center">'''Associate a Mailbox to the new role'''</div>]]
:Now complete the remaining fields. A role purely governing access to a Shared Mailbox does not need application context so the "Applications" field can be left blank.
:::* '''Shared Mailboxes''': select the relevant shared mailbox
:::* Click 'Save'
A further tab will now be exposed at the top of the form labelled "Shared Mailbox Rights".
<br>
<br>
=== Select the desired rights ===

:::* Click the “Shared Mailbox rights” Tab
:::* Then set the desired rights
