Create admin account that only has access to select user accounts - Microsoft 365
Our company has been split and one portion is being sold to another company. The buying company wants to import emails using CodeTwo. Is there a way to create an admin account on Microsoft 365 Exchange Admin Center that only can administer selected users, namely users who will be going to the new company? I want to give that admin account to the buying company's I.T. person so that he can setup CodeTwo migration.
Something like a service account.
Thanks!

- you can create a restricted admin account in Microsoft 365 by setting up a custom role group in the Exchange Admin Center (EAC). Assign roles like Mailbox Import Export and limit the admin’s access using a custom recipient scope that only targets the users being migrated. This way, the buying company's IT person can manage only the selected mailboxes.
