# SCA Configuration - SecContacts.SharedMailboxContacts

### SecContacts.SharedMailboxContacts

This setting defines one or more Exchange Online **shared mailboxes** as optional contact sources for SCA. Each mailbox becomes a separate, auto-enumerated data source, visible only to users who are members. Shared mailbox contacts are stored in Exchange Online, allowing a small team to **share and manage contacts collectively**. Users with full or read-only access can use these contacts in Outlook (“People”/“Contacts”) and in SCA

* Name: `SecContacts.SharedMailboxContacts`
* Value:  `[{"name":"<smc_name>", "value":"<smc_emailaddress>"}]`

The Value property is a JSON Array of name value pairs. You can add one or multiple shared mailbox email addresses here.

Replace **\<smc\_name>** with the unique name to identify the shared mailbox

* e.g. `SCM1`

Replace **\<smc\_emailaddress>** with the email address of a shared mailbox.

* e.g. `marketing@provectus-lab.de`

If the SCA user is member of the shared mailbox configured here, then contacts stored in that shared mailbox will become available in SCA.

If the SCA user is NOT member of the shared mailbox configured here, then this setting is ignored by SCA and the user will not see any contacts stored in that shared mailbox.
