To grant mailbox and folder permissions via PowerShell, here’s what you need to do:ġ. So even for these rare occurrences, and for things that don’t need to be automated, we still need to head to the PowerShell command prompt to get the job done. Microsoft doesn’t offer us a great way to do this via GUI unless we want to take control of an actual mailbox account (or walk a user through it over the phone). And in our environment, our exchange is in the cloud, or in other words, we use O365 (Office 365). For example, where I work we occasionally need to grant one user access to folders in another user’s exchange mailbox. Okay, this is good when you want to automate things, but not so great for the occasional need.

Features we’d love to see in a GUI interface instead require commands and scripts. In case you haven’t noticed, Microsoft is making you do more and more with PowerShell.
