SBSA:: Stepherson:: Use PowerShell to grant proper mailbox permissions

Created by Keeley Trygstad, Modified on Mon, 24 Jul, 2023 at 2:45 PM by Keeley Trygstad

When a new user starts at Stepherson Associates, we need to connect via PowerShell to Exchange online to properly add mailbox permissions. Here is how:


  1. Run PowerShell as Administrator
  2. Connect to Exchange Online using: Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName [your admin user name for SBSA]
  3. Set Default permissions to allow everyone to see calendar using: Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity [email of new user]:\calendar -user Default -AccessRights Reviewer
  4. Grant Kacie and Andrea Publishing Editor access using:
    Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity [email of new user]:\calendar -user Andrea -AccessRights PublishingEditor
    Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity [email of new user]:\calendar -user kwashington@stephersonassociates.com -AccessRights PublishingEditor
