remove automapping for in-place archives

Question

In our organisation we give our users full mailbox rights for other user's mailboxes. The problem is when some user has the in-place archive activated, the other user with the full access rights also sees the Online archive tree.
Can I disable/remove the automapping for the online archives ?

Answer 1

Only if you remove the full mailbox access. There is no way to remove access for the just the online archive, its an all or nothing thing.

Answer 2

Hi @David Vandenabeele ,

In fact as Andy said, we can't disable automapping only for archives.
And it is expected that the archive folders could also be added to the mailbox list:

The AutoMapping parameter specifies whether to enable or disable the auto-mapping feature in Microsoft Outlook that uses Autodiscover to automatically open other mailboxes for the user. Valid values are:

$true: Outlook automatically opens the mailbox where the user is assigned Full Access permission. This is the default value.
$false: Outlook doesn't automatically open the mailbox where the user is assigned Full Access permission.

I think you could consider sharing folders instead of giving their full access permission.

Best regards,
Lou
