Detailed Description

The Remove-MailboxPermission cmdlet allows you to remove permissions from a user's mailbox, for example, removing full access to another user's mailbox.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Permissions and delegation" entry in the Mailbox Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
AccessRights	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.MailboxRights[]	The AccessRights parameter specifies the rights required to perform the operation. You can use the following values: `FullAccess` `SendAs` `ExternalAccount` `DeleteItem` `ReadPermission` `ChangePermission` `ChangeOwner`
Identity	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxIdParameter	The Identity parameter identifies the mailbox. You can use the following values: GUID ADObjectID Distinguished name (DN) Domain\Account User principal name (UPN) LegacyExchangeDN SmtpAddress Alias
Instance	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.MailboxAcePresentationObject	The Instance parameter enables you to pass an entire object to the command to be processed. It's mainly used in scripts where an entire object must be passed to the command.
User	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.SecurityPrincipalIdParameter	The User parameter specifies the user mailbox that will get permissions added.
Confirm	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.
Deny	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Deny parameter denies permissions to the user on the Active Directory object.
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. The DomainController parameter isn't supported on the Edge Transport server role. The Edge Transport server role writes only to the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) instance.
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: You can't use the DomainController parameter. The command uses an appropriate global catalog server automatically. You can only use the DN for the Identity parameter. Other forms of identification, such as alias or GUID, aren't accepted.
InheritanceType	Optional	System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectorySecurityInheritance	The InheritanceType parameter specifies whether permissions are inherited to 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.
