    Hello,

     

    Could you please tell me if I can use Powershell to set delegate for user mailbox in Office 365 or BPOS?

    If I can, then how can I do that (which Powershell command should I use?)?

     

    Many thanks and have a good day!

    Sure, it is similar to Powershell in BPOS with some additional pieces:

    Use this command to set your credential variable:

    $cred = Get-Credential
    When you execute the above command, you'll be prompted for your Office 365 credentials. 

    Then create a new PowerShell Session object with this command:

    $s = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

    You'll get a warning about being redirected, don't worry that is what the -AllowRedirection command is for.

    Next, import the cmdlets to your local shell session:

    $importresults = Import-PSSession $s

    Once you are there you can run the Get-Command like this to see all the available commands, the one you'll need is probably 'Add-MailboxPermissions'

    Get-Command -Module $importresults | Out-Host -Paging

    Hope this helps!

    Hello,

     

    I'd like to set the permission on folder level, that's why I am using Add-MailboxFolderPermission to add the Editor permission for user A to access my Inbox folder. It did set the permission as Editor for user A to access my Inbox nicely. Thank you very much!

    However, user A didn't show up on my mailbox delegate list. (Though he was shown up in the Permission list for my Inbox as Editor)
    Do you know how can I make user A to show up on my mailbox delegate list using Powershell?

    Many thanks!

    How about giving permissions to the mailbox?

    Add-MailboxPermission "MailboxYouWant2Delegate" -user PleaseUseUPN@company.com -Accessright FullAccess

    See this link for more details: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676368.aspx#UseShell

    SendAs right needs to be set with "Add-AdPermission"

    Please make sure to use UPN instead of "Domain\Username"

    Regards,

    Tim

    That is the command for giving full mailbox access rights, but the question at hand is can you just add permissions to view the Inbox if I am reading the post correctly.
