1.We create users on-premises and migrate them to online. I have two users, let's call them user1 and user2. User2 has full access to user1's mailbox and can log in to it via OWA.
Now, user2 wants to provide access to user1's Drafts folder to another user. However, when user2 right-clicks the Drafts folder, selects Sharing and Permissions, nothing happens — no permission popup appears.
when user2 tries the same action on their own mailbox, the permission popup appears as expected. Please guide me, as I am unsure if any permissions are missing or if there is a configuration issue
2.Is it possible to provide access to the Drafts folder using Exchange Online PowerShell? I want to grant Publishing Editor access to the Drafts folder of user1's mailbox to another user.

Hi,
Yes, you can connect to Exchange Online powershell using administrator permission.
Use the below command to provide folder access
Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity ******@contoso.com:\Draft -User ******@contoso.com -AccessRights Owner
Refer for access rights https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/add-mailboxfolderpermission?view=exchange-ps
