Edit Information is missing on some users - edit profile image
- Dec 04, 2018
What you are showing is the difference between accessing the mailbox settings as an admin (first screenshot) and as a regular user that has Full Access permissions on the other person's mailbox (second one). Because you already have Full Access, you can just edit the photo via the regular OWA settings page: https://outlook.office.com/owa/user@domain.com/?path=/options/myaccount
And you can always edit it via PowerShell as well.
The reason I referred you to those articles is that Exchange is not the only place where you, or the users can configure picture. Thus if you want proper control, you need to understand the full picture.
Central control over photos in O365 is still a mess, but this article summarizes the options you have available: http://ilantz.com/2015/11/17/high-resolution-user-photo-synchronization-to-office-365/
Some additional information is given on the ProfilePictureUploader tool page: https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP/tree/master/Samples/Core.ProfilePictureUploader

Hi Vasil,
These articles do not give me a solution.
I uploaded pictures that might help me find a solution:
Picture when I click on a user with the option to "Edit Information"
And picture without "Edit Information" option:

Thank you Vasil, You're right. I do not see the option to "Edit Information" when I'm set to "Full access" in the user's mailbox.
