Get-RecipientPermission

This cmdlet is available only in the cloud-based service.

Use the Get-RecipientPermission cmdlet to view information about SendAs permissions that are configured for users in a cloud-based organization.

Note: In Exchange Online PowerShell, we recommend that you use the Get-EXORecipientPermission cmdlet instead of this cmdlet. For more information, see Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Syntax

Get-RecipientPermission
   [[-Identity] <RecipientIdParameter>]
   [-AccessRights <MultiValuedProperty>]
   [-ReadFromDomainController]
   [-ResultSize <Unlimited>]
   [-Trustee <SecurityPrincipalIdParameter>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

When a user is given SendAs permission to another user or group, the user can send messages that appear to come from the other user or group.

Note

This cmdlet doesn't return expected results when the recipient specified by the Trustee parameter has multiple SecurityPrincipalIdParameter (Sid) values. When you use the Trustee parameter, the command compares the Sid of the specified Trustee with the recipient's access control list (ACL) record. If some of the recipient's Sid values have changed, there's a mismatch. The workaround is to not to use the user principal name (UPN) value, to use all Sids including the one for history.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.
