oauth 2.0 - Sending Email using Azure EWS with OAuth2.0 Client Credential

Question

I have question 'bout using EWS with Oauth2.0 Client Credential.

In our directory, there're users with member type and guest type, however, all of our administrators are from Microsoft directory(using [email protected]) and they are under guest.

My question is if it's possible to use credential client grant type, and use EWS to send email behalf of these guest users?

For now, I tried to use EASendMail sdk to achieve this task. However, whenever I use account within our directory(member type) I get "There is no SMTP email associated" which is what I expected, 'cause we do not have email address associated with these users. But when I tried using ([email protected]) , "Mailbox does not exist" error is raised.

Thank you.

You can do as long as the app has been granted impersonation permissions. OAuth is supported for the client credential flow(app permissions) & impersonation to do so.
