Hi,

Our tenant has had its default roles and permissions messed up. I need to add the "Mail Recipient Creation" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/mail-recipient-creation-role-exchange-2013-help role to a user. I have tried looking at the documentation for assigning a role via powershell (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/role-assignments-powershell) but already at step 2 of listing the roles , the role I need is not there.

I am really quite out of my depth here and am in need of some guidance.

Can anyone assist me with how I might go about adding this role to a user?

Thanks,

-Bryan Lanier

    In your scenario, best add it to the Org management role group:

    New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role "Mail Recipient Creation" -SecurityGroup "Organization Management"

    The direct assignment you created above should work just fine, but in general you should be delegating via the corresponding Role Groups.
