Grant full mailbox access to user

February 24, 2021

1598

The script checks whether a specific user has full access to the Exchange mailbox the script is executed on. If the user doesn't have the access, the script adds it.

To grant full access on demand, create a custom command that runs the script on a mailbox. To add the script to your command, use the Run a program or PowerShell script action. To update the permission on a regular basis, create a scheduled task.

PARAMETER:

$fullAccessUserDN - Specifies the Distinguished Name (DN) of the user who should have access to the mailbox.
