Verify the connection of Exchange Online using username password

Question

My requirement is that I want to verify whether the user is an exchange administrator or not.

I have the username and password of that user.

Is there any API for that? I went through various docs but I didn't get any useful information.

For example - I give a username and password on UI and we verify it there and use it in the backend for exchange online operations.

Appreciate your efforts. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Abhishek Goyal,

To me you can first export all current Exchange admin groups and memberships with an admin account and then have a check if this user is a member of these groups.

You can run a script like the following example in Exchange Online Powershell to get the membership of Exchange admin groups:

$Result = Get-RoleGroup | 
foreach{
	$Member = Get-RoleGroupMember $_.Name

	new-object psobject -Property @{
	GroupName = $_.Name
	Membership = $Member
	}
}
$Result
