Let Microsoft 365 Group Members delete E-Mails
Is it possible to let M365 Group Members delete E-Mails? As I've read https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/create-groups/office-365-groups, only Group Admins can delete E-Mails......
- Yes, only owners can delete. At one point it was possible to play with the permissions via PowerShell, but that never was a supported scenario.
Please see:
Set-OrganizationConfig -IsGroupFoldersAndRulesEnabled $true
Set-OrganizationConfig -IsGroupMemberAllowedToEditContent $true

Set-OrganizationConfig -IsGroupFoldersAndRulesEnabled $true
Set-OrganizationConfig -IsGroupMemberAllowedToEditContent $true

From the link above:
"If there's a need for members in the group to create folders and triage messages in groups mailbox, then member permission to edit groups content has to be enabled by the admin at tenant level and group owner at group level respectively."
The IsGroupMemberAllowedToEditContent switch enabled this at the tenant level, but what's missing is the ability for the group owner to enable it ad the group level.
IsGroupFoldersAndRulesEnabled does allow members to create subfolders in groups, but apparently only in the web version of Outlook.
Sounds like a Shared Mailbox is a better option if you want users to delete email without being an owner.
