Restrict users from deleting emails in Shared Mailbox
Hi team, is there a way to restrict ppl from deleting emails in a shared mailbox? We are using Exchange Online.
You can do it in both Outlook or OWA, although if you want to grant Calendar permissions, only Outlook exposes them. For full access, use the EAC or PowerShell.
thanks Vasil for being patient with me :).... One last question I hope - how to remove full access via EAC? Are we talking about removing users from Delegation -> Read/Manage?
- Yes, that's how it's shown in the EAC.
- well... so when I rmeoved from Delegation ->Read/Manage (to modify full access) and added reviewer for the testuser on Inbox directly.... The shared mailbox disappeared...... So looks like the Delegation can't be removed like that 😕
- That's expected, you need to add the mailbox manually, only Full access permissions will result in auto-magically appearing in the list.
- cool... that seems to be working..... I've set permission on "Inbox" folder to reviewer in that mailbox and seems to be working fine. Just looks that it does not apply to subfolders..... so would need to manually change permissions for each manually.... For emails stored directly in INBOX, it works fine and cannot delete emails anymore
- Yes, you need to configure permissions on each folder individually. Here's a script that can automate the process: https://www.michev.info/Blog/Post/2063/managing-mailbox-permissions-on-the-folder-level-in-bulk
