I had this set up at some point where all existing users AND new users to all my databases had "fullaccess" and "Send-as" permissions added to two accounts, one is for BES, another for an archive application. Permissions which were set were kept, but new mailboxes created in say, the last week have not had the permissions manually added and I was just notified of this now. I know how to set this to re-add all permissions (get-mailboxdatabase -server servername | add-mailboxpermission -user domain\user -accessrights fullaccess), but I am trying to apply this at the storage group or database level so all NEW accounts automatically get these permissions added. Can you please help me out with this syntax, thanks!

You need to set the permission at the database level. Inheritance won't work with add-mailboxpermission. The cmd below will grant the BESadmin fullaccess to all mailboxes on all databases as well as send as rights. get-mailboxdatabase | add-adpermission -user <BESAdmin> -accessrights GenericRead, GenericWrite -extendedrights Send-As, Receive-As, ms-Exch-Store-AdminJames Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

When I do a get-mailboxdatabase | get-adpermission |ft I get this, which looks right, but the rights seem to not be applying. Also, is there a reason you cant do a get-mailboxdatabase | get-mailbox | get-mailboxpermission? Mailboxpermission is different than ADPermission, you can have send-as rights (adpermission) without having full access of the mailbox if I remember right, also when I do a get-mailboxpermission |fl on a "old" user, they have these permissions as inherited "true" Identity User Deny Inherited Rights -------- ---- ---- --------- ------ exch1CC\exch1SG01\exch1SG01 internal\MsiRstr-172272171 False

What is not applying? You can do a set-mailboxpermission on a DB, therefore you're going to run into the same problem when a new mailbox gets added the permission is not going to apply. To grant full access to all mailboxes you grant receive-as rights for the admin account onto the DB using add-adpermission. To grant sendas to all mailboxes you grant send-as rights for the admin account onto the DB using add-adpermission. If you're seeing inheritance from the old user, it can be inheriting either at the DB level, server level or higher. You could've configured it at one point.James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

No, I definetly hear you on this, but when you go into the EMC I do not see the permissions. It's there in powershell, but not listed when you right click manage full/send-as permissions when new users are added.

If you configure send-as rights for admin user at the DB level, it will show on the user in EMC If you configure receive-as rights for admin user at the DB level, it will not on the user in EMC. However the admin user will have full rights to the mailbox. James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com
