Description
This cmdlet updates the mailbox object that's specified by the Identity parameter.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet (https://technet.microsoft.com/library/mt432940.aspx).
Examples
-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "Terry Adams" -User "Kevin Kelly" -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All

Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "Room 222" -Owner "Tony Smith"
This example sets the user Tony Smith as the owner of the resource mailbox named Room 222.
-------------------------- Example 3 --------------------------
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "Jeroen Cool" -User "Mark Steele" -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All -AutoMapping $false
This example assigns the user Mark Steele Full Access permission to Jeroen Cool's mailbox, prevents Outlook from opening Jeroen Cool's mailbox when Mark Steele opens Outlook.
-------------------------- Example 4 --------------------------
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited -Filter {(RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (Alias -ne 'Admin')} | Add-MailboxPermission -User admin@contoso.com -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All
In Office 365, this example assigns the administrator account admin@contoso.com Full Access permission to all user mailboxes in the contoso.com Office 365 organization.
Required Parameters
The AccessRights parameter specifies the permission that you want to assign to the user on the mailbox. Valid values are:
ChangeOwner
ChangePermission
DeleteItem
ExternalAccount
FullAccess
ReadPermission
You can specify multiple values separated by commas.
Type: | MailboxRights[] |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Online |
The Identity parameter specifies the mailbox where you want to assign permissions to the user. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the mailbox.
For example:
Name
Display name
Alias
Distinguished name (DN)
Canonical DN
<domain name>\<account name>
Email address
GUID
LegacyExchangeDN
SamAccountName
User ID or user principal name (UPN)
Type: | MailboxIdParameter |
Position: | 1 |
Default value: | None |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Online |
The Instance parameter is no longer used and will be deprecated.
Type: | MailboxAcePresentationObject |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Online |
The Owner parameter specifies the owner of the mailbox object. The default mailbox owner is NT AUTHORITY\SELF.
The owner that you specify for this parameter must be a user or security group (a security principal that can have permissions assigned). You can use any value that uniquely identifies the owner. For example:
For example:
Name
Display name
Distinguished name (DN)
Canonical DN
GUID
Type: | SecurityPrincipalIdParameter |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Online |
The User parameter specifies the user that you're assigning the permission to.
The user that you specify for this parameter must be a user or security group (a security principal that can have permissions assigned). You can use any value that uniquely identifies the user. For example:
For example:
Name
Display name
Distinguished name (DN)
Canonical DN
GUID
Type: | SecurityPrincipalIdParameter |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Online |
Optional Parameters
The AutoMapping parameter specifies whether to enable or disable the auto-mapping feature in Microsoft Outlook that uses Autodiscover to automatically open other mailboxes for the user. Valid values are:
$true: Outlook automatically opens the mailbox where the user is assigned Full Access permission. This is the default value.
$false: Outlook doesn't automatically open the mailbox where the user is assigned Full Access permission.
If you've already assign the user Full Access to the mailbox, and you want to prevent the mailbox from automatically opening in the user's Outlook, you need to remove the user's Full Access permission by using the Remove-MailboxPermission cmdlet, and then assign the permission to the user on the mailbox again, but this time include -AutoMapping $false in the command.
Type: | $true | $false |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | $true |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Online |
The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.
Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
Type: | SwitchParameter |
Aliases: | cf |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Online |
The Deny switch specifies whether to deny the specified permissions to the user on the mailbox. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
Type: | SwitchParameter |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Online |
This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.
The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.
Type: | Fqdn |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016 |
The IgnoreDefaultScope switch tells the command to ignore the default recipient scope setting for the Exchange Management Shell session, and to use the entire forest as the scope. This allows the command to access Active Directory objects that aren't currently available in the default scope.
Using the IgnoreDefaultScope switch introduces the following restrictions:
You can't use the DomainController parameter. The command uses an appropriate global catalog server automatically.
You can only use the DN for the Identity parameter. Other forms of identification, such as alias or GUID, aren't accepted.
Type: | SwitchParameter |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Online |
The InheritanceType parameter specifies how permissions are inherited by folders in the mailbox. Valid values are:
All
Children
Descendents[sic]
SelfAndChildren
Type: | None | All | Descendents | SelfAndChildren | Children |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Online |
The WhatIf switch simulates the actions of the command. You can use this switch to view the changes that would occur without actually applying those changes. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
Type: | SwitchParameter |
Aliases: | wi |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
Applies to: | Exchange Server 2010, Exchange Server 2013, Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Online |
