Paul Ryan | February 21st, 2015 | exchange 2010

In my previous post, I have discussed various ways to grant full access in Exchange 2013. Here we will discuss the same for Exchange 2010. We can give full access permission rights for Exchange 2010 mailboxes by using PowerShell or Exchange Management Console (EMC).

EMC to grant full access permissions in Exchange 2010

Use the easy steps mentioned below to grant full access permission for Exchange 2010 mailboxes:

1). Launch the Exchange Management  Console and click on the Recipient Configuration from the console tree as shown below:

emc

Now select the recipient name for which you want to grant full access.

For the recipient types given below you can assign full access permission:

                    #. Resource mailboxes

                    #. User mailboxes

                    #. Discovery mailboxes

action-panel

On the next wizard that will come up after click on Manage Full Access Permission, Click on the Add option to Select the users or groups for which you want to assign the full access permission or select the remove icon to remove the permission.

manage-permission

After adding to removing permissions, Click on Manage to finalize the task.

At last, Status Complete indicated that you can successfully granted the full access permissions to the selected users.

Failed Status shows that there is that permission has not been granted. Point out the error and click on back to make any changes in the configuration.

At last click on Finish to finish the Wizard.

Using PowerShell to grant full access permission in Exchange 2010

Add-Mailbox Cmdlet of PowerShell is used to grant full access permission in Exchange 2010. Let us understand the Cmdlet using Example.

Suppose we want to grant full access permission to Joe Prior for the Henry’s mailbox. For that run the PowerShell Command that is given below

Add-MailboxPermission -Identity “Joe Prior” -User Henry -AccessRights Fullaccess -InheritanceType all

To remove the Full Access Permission using Powershell use the command  given below

Remove-MailboxPermission -Identity Henry -User ‘Joe Prior’ -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All
