Creating a new address list
Hi all, I am trying to create a new address list that is shared only with a select security group in my 365 tenant. Does anybody know how I would go about doing this? I have found a few things on...
- Address lists are by default visible to everyone within the company. If you want to limit visibility, you will have to also configure Address Book Policies, and assign them accordingly. Here are the relevant docs:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/address-books/address-lists/manage-address-lists
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/address-books/address-book-policies/assign-an-address-book-policy-to-mail-users
Alternatively, you can store the contacts within a user/shared mailbox and share the list from there.
When I use the New-AddressList command, I am getting the following error:
cmdlet New-AddressList is not present in the role definition of the current userHowever, I have ensured that I have added the appropriate role permissions to a role group that I am a part of. Any ideas, or is this likely just something where it is taking time to propagate the role change?
Make sure you reconnect PowerShell after adding the roles.
- I've restarted PowerShell, and reauthenticated for EXO multiple time.
- Check via the EAC then (the role assignment I mean, you cannot manage ALs in the UI), or re-add the permission.
- Looks like I just had to be patient. Got it rolling now though, thanks for your help!
