Updating Display Name

Hi, How do we provide user access to update their own email display name? From the Exchange Admin site, I can see there is a Roles which provide Profile Information update. How do I assigned this...

That is what I did.

I went to EAC, Permissions > User Roles. There is an existing default policy - Default Role Assignment Policy.

I have edited the policy by including two more roles to it: MyContactInformation andMyProfileInformation. (refer screenshot attached)

All the users are assigned with this default policy - Default Role Assignment Policy (refer screenshot attached). But when user login to their Account under OWA, the "Edit" button is not available for them to update their profile.

Thanks.

I can confirm it works fine here. Which version of Exchange are we talking about here?

In case you are talking about Exchange Online/O365, this will only work for users created directly in the cloud. Synced users will not be able to change anything.

Yes, we are using O365/Exchange Online subscription based. Is that falls under the cloud based?
I am not sure on "Synced users".

  Synced means if those users are provisioned and synced through AD Connect, originating from on-premises Active Directory, or if they are created directly in Office 365.

    I am not using on-premise setup. In my case of using Office 365 subscription, I don't create the user under Azure (I assumed is link in someway). The users is created through EAC.
    
    Is that still consider as "synced"?
