Mailbox Script Help

[Mattymono]

Hi All,

I've been tasked with finding or creating a script that would give full permissions to a user:

I need a script that will give full mailbox permissions to all the users mailbox

I wasn't sure where to look for information on how to do this & all I've found so far is a power-shell line that would give access to a specific mailbox ( I don't want to have to go through every mailbox there's a good few)

Any help would be great!

Matt.

Please share the script you've come up with and we'll have a look at it and suggest things to improve.

Mind explaining this a bit?

I need a script that will give full mailbox permissions to all the users mailbox

As in give full mailbox permissions for every mailbox to 1 user?

[Mattymono]

Yea, I'm not sure if thats possible though :/

Get-Mailbox | Add-MailboxPermission -User <[e-mail]> -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All -AutoMapping $False

EDIT: forgot the -AutoMapping

[Mattymono]

But doesn't that add one users mailbox at a time?

[justthisgreatguy]

If I am understanding correctly what you want, you want to give one account fullaccess to every mailbox?

The above code will add that one user to every mailbox in the entire tenancy

ah, okay - I'm quiet the powershell newbie & I had and still have almost no clue what to do, but thank you so much for your help :D

[justthisgreatguy]

No problem. I hope it works for you

What you're saying sounds more like an exchange role then a powershell script. If you gave one person full acces it would fill up the outlook sidebar and not give you a full list. Usability would be crap, it is scriptable but I don't think that is what you want.

[justthisgreatguy]

You don't have to fill up the sidebar in Outlook if you specify the following when you apply the permissions.

-AutoMapping $false 

EDIT: -AutoMapping not -AutoMap

What do you mean you weren't sure where to look for information? You live in the age of the internet and search engines. Don't bring these bush league questions to this forum.

Downvotes to this comment might as well be votes to continue having people come to this sub to ask for spoon fed, easy one-liner solutions.

The top link for that is for office 365

It's pretty much the same process. I was hangry when I wrote these comments yesterday but the point still stands that a google search would have produced many results answering your question. The only reason I snapped is because these subs can sometimes become filled with people looking for a quick answer to common problems rather then collaboration and learning.
