   [-Confirm]
   [-WhatIf]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

An eDiscovery Administrator is member of the eDiscovery Manager role group who can also view and access all eDiscovery cases in your organization.

To make a user an eDiscovery Administrator, you must first add the user to the eDiscovery Manager role group by running the Add-RoleGroupMember cmdlet. After the user is a member of this role group, you can run the Add-eDiscoveryCaseAdmin cmdlet to add the user to the list of eDiscovery Administrators.

To use this cmdlet in Security & Compliance PowerShell, you need to be assigned permissions. For more information, see Permissions in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.

Examples

Example 1

Add-eDiscoveryCaseAdmin -User michelle@contoso.com

This example adds an eDiscovery Administrator.

Parameters

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
