Hi All

i am using exchange 2016 hybrid environment, we create users in onprem and migrate them to online. i have a user lets say user1@Company portal .com and he want to share couple of outlook folders to user2.

Lets say Folder is Project1 , user1 want to share it to user2. is the below syntax correct.

ForEach($Q in (Get-MailboxFolderStatistics user1@contoso.com | Where { $_.FolderPath.Contains("Project1") -eq $True } ) ) {  
Add-MailboxFolderPermission user1@contoso.com -User user2@contoso.com -AccessRights Editor }  

user1 has a folder Project2 and it has subfolders, user1 want to share this folder and all its subfolders to user2.is the below syntax correct.

ForEach($Q in (Get-MailboxFolderStatistics user1@contoso.com | Where { $_.FolderPath.Contains("Project2") -eq $True } ) ) {  
$usr = "user1@contoso.com:" + $f.FolderPath.Replace("/","\");  
Add-MailboxFolderPermission $usr -User user2@contoso.com -AccessRights Editor }

Hi @Glenn Maxwell

Scenario 1 (I suppose you mean a single folder):
Would the following cmdlets work for you in this scenario?

Add-MailboxFolderPermission user1@contoso.com -User user2@contoso.com -AccessRights Reviewer  
  
Add-MailboxFolderPermission user1@contoso.com:\Project1 -User user2@contoso.com -AccessRights Editor

Scenario 2 (I suppose you mean the main folder and its sub-folders)

Add-MailboxFolderPermission user1@contoso.com -User user2@contoso.com -AccessRights Reviewer  
$folders = Get-MailboxFolderStatistics user1@contoso.com | Where { $_.FolderPath.Contains("Project1") -eq $True }  
Foreach($folder in $folders)  
{  
$path = "user01@contoso.com:" + $folder.folderpath.Replace("/","\")  
Add-MailboxFolderPermission $path -User user2@contoso.com -AccessRights Editor  
}  

It would also give Editor permissions of the sub-folders of Project2 to user2.
