Hi guys,

I have a user and she has multiple users mailboxes setup on her outlook but she does not want to see the users task and only have access to the mailbox and calendar is there any powershell command that I can use to setup these permissions ?

Hi ,

You can make use of the command " Set-MailboxFolderPermission" to have specific folder permissions on the target mailbox .

So instead of giving her full permission only give permission on the mailbox ?

with 

Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity UserMailbox:\Inbox -User UserwhoNeedsAccess 

-AccessRights Owner 
An this will give her access on the users whole inbox with sub folders ?

Hi ,

Based on my knowledge mailbox folder permissions will not get inherited .

Please use the below mentioned command to add the specific folder permissions on the target mailbox for the first time .

add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "migrationking1@abc.com:\inbox" -User "kumar.n@abc.com" -AccessRights owner

In case if you wanted to edit the provided permissions on the target mailbox folders then we need to use the command set-MailboxFolderPermission  instead of add-MailboxFolderPermission .

Below is the example to change the previously provided permission.

set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "migrationking1@abc.com:\inbox" -User "kumar.n@abc.com" -AccessRights author

On the first command i am giving the mailbox folder permission as owner over the target mailbox "kumar.n@abc.com" for the user migrationking1@abc.com by using the command add-MailboxFolderPermission

But on the second command i am changing the mailbox folder permission as author over the target mailbox "kumar.n@abc.com" for the user migrationking1@abc.com by using the command set-MailboxFolderPermission

Please reply me if you have any queries.
