Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Identity |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxIdParameter |
The Identity parameter specifies the identity of the mailbox that's getting permissions added. This parameter accepts the following values:
|
|
AccessRights |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.MailboxRights[] |
The AccessRights parameter specifies the rights needed to perform the operation. Valid values include:
|
|
Instance |
Required |

The Instance parameter is no longer used and will be deprecated. |
|
Owner |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.SecurityPrincipalIdParameter |
The Owner parameter specifies the owner of the mailbox object. |
|
User |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.SecurityPrincipalIdParameter |
The User parameter specifies the user mailbox that the permissions are being granted to on the other mailbox. |
|
AutoMapping |
Optional |
System.Boolean |
The Automapping parameter specifies whether to ignore the
auto-mapping feature in Outlook. If a user is granted Full Access
permissions to another user's mailbox or to a shared mailbox,
Outlook, through Autodiscover, automatically loads all mailboxes to
which the user has full access. This parameter accepts
|
|
Confirm |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The Confirm switch can be used to suppress the
confirmation prompt that appears by default when this cmdlet is
run. To suppress the confirmation prompt, use the syntax
|
|
Deny |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The Deny switch specifies whether to deny permissions to the user on the mailbox. |
|
DomainController |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn |
The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory. |
|
IgnoreDefaultScope |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The IgnoreDefaultScope parameter instructs the command to ignore the default recipient scope setting for the Exchange Management Shell session and use the entire forest as the scope. This allows the command to access Active Directory objects that aren't currently in the default scope. Using the IgnoreDefaultScope parameter introduces the following restrictions:
|
|
InheritanceType |
Optional |
System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectorySecurityInheritance |
The InheritanceType parameter specifies whether permissions are inherited by folders within the mailbox. |
|
WhatIf |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch. |
