Can someone explain to me how to Get Mailbox folder permissions in recoverable items use PowerShell? Its possible or not

Question

Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity " testid@223.microsoft.com\Recoverable Items"

Answer 1

It's been a long time since I've worked with Exchange, but it looks like the "Recoverable Items" folder is in the Non-IPM sub-tree of the mailbox. That folder contains sub-folders, too: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/policy-and-compliance/recoverable-items-folder/recoverable-items-folder?view=exchserver-2019

To reach those folders you'd have to add the folder name to the -Identity value:

Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity " testid@223.microsoft.com\RecoverableItems\Deletions"

Also, there's no space in the folder name. :-)

Answer 3

Hi,

I did some tests but could not succeed in getting Recoverable Items permissions using the Get-MailboxFolderPermission command, according to my personal experience, Recoverable Items is an invisible folder different from other normal folders, therefore, it cannot get its permissions using Get-MailboxFolderPermission.Also, there doesn't seem to be any other command that does this.

Hope this helps.

Try using the Get-MailboxFolderStatistics cmdlet. Use the "-FolderScope NonIpmRoot". I'm guessing that you can use the Identity value for the folder in the Get-MailboxFolderPermissions cmdlet.

If that doesn't work, you should ask a new question and use an appropriate Exchange tag. Don't add any Outlook or PowerShell tags. Let the Exchange and/or O365 SMEs get the answer (they should also be familiar with the Exchange PowerShell cmdlets to get that information).

With an on-prem Exchange mailbox, using tools like MFCMAPI, or Redemption (a 3rd-party library) might work.For O365 mailboxes you may have to resort to using Microsoft Graph. The Exchange/O365 folks should be able to help you with that, too.
