unable to add user

Question

Hi All

I am facing issue with adding user to eDiscovery Administrator from GUI. i am trying to add user from powershell.

For one user i have added from powershell to eDiscovery Manager and it worked.
Add-RoleGroupMember "eDiscovery Manager" -Member user1@contoso.com

I am unable to add to eDiscovery Administrator.
Add-RoleGroupMember "eDiscovery Administrator" -Member user2@contoso.com
The operation couldn't be performed because object 'eDiscovery Administrator' couldn't be found on 'FfoRecipientSession'.

Hi @ Glenn Maxwell，

Yes. you can't use the Add-RoleGroupMember cmdlet to add a user to the eDiscovery Administrators subgroup.

For more details, please refer to this link: Assign eDiscovery permissions in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal - Microsoft Purview (compliance) | Microsoft Learn
