    Hi,

    To use the DeleteContent switch with Search-Mailbox cmdlet, you have to be assigned the Mailbox Import Export management role. By default, this role isn't assigned to any role group. Typically, you assign a role to a built-in role group, or you can assign a role to a user, or a universal security group. The below example add the role to the Organization Management role group:

    New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Name "Import_Export_Organization_Management" -SecurityGroup "Organization Management" -Role "Mailbox Import Export"

    Note: You have to create a new Exchange Online PowerShell session to get new role permissions.

Hi,

 

To use the DeleteContent switch with Search-Mailbox cmdlet,  you have to be assigned the Mailbox Import Export management role. By default, this role isn't assigned to any role group. Typically, you assign a role to a built-in or custom role group. or you can assign a role to a user, or a universal security group. The below example add the role to the Organization Management role group:

 

New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Name "Import_Export_Organization_Management" -SecurityGroup "Organization Management" -Role "Mailbox Import Export"
