Hi everyone,

Is there a specific PowerShell script or any other method that I can use to list down all the Distribution List, Microsft365 Groups a specific member is a part of?

A script to list down all the Shared-Mailboxes a user has permission to would be appreciated too.
Like something that would help in an user off-boarding process?

Thanks in advance for the help!!!

    Hi @PamudithaMadushanka-8226 ·

    If you are using Azure AD user account, you can use below Graph Call:

    • Open Graph Explorer and sign in with user administrator or global administrator account.
    • Run below call:

    GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{id}/memberOf

    Permissions required :
    Delegated permissions - User.Read, GroupMember.Read.All, Directory.Read.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All, Directory.AccessAsUser.All

    There are plenty examples available online, here's one of mine: https://www.michev.info/Blog/Post/2250/generating-a-report-of-users-group-membership-memberof-inventory
    If you want a quick one-liner instead, use this: 

    Get-Recipient -Filter "Members -eq 'CN=user,OU=domain.onmicrosoft.com,OU=Microsoft Exchange Hosted Organizations,DC=EURPR03A001,DC=prod,DC=outlook,DC=com'"

    where you need to provide the DistinguishedName of the user.
