Hi All

I have come across an issue while Granting Editor permission to a user for 2014 Public Folder, i tried giving permission using shell cmdlets

Get-PublicFolder Identity \Official Rent\Team\Lock-out\2014 Recurse | Add-PublicFolderClientPermission User "mno213" AccessRights Editor

Command executed successfully but user still don't have access to the PF 2014. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

For Exchange 2007 specifically I would apply public folder permissions using PFDAVadmin. You should not have an issue using this.

Hi Will

Thanks.. but i don't have liberty to use  Public Folder Distributed Authoring and Versioning Administration tool  , can you help me with Exchange shell Command.

Hi ,

I hope you can configure your administrator account in your outlook .Once it is done then we can check the public folders permissions by going to the properties of the public folder .

In case if you need a command then we can make use of the below mentioned command .

get-PublicFolderClientPermission Identity "\Official Rent\Team\Lock-out\2014" user "mno213" | Ft -au

Just doing a quick test in my lab using the following powershell one liner it worked without any issues.

get-publicfolder \NewPerm | Add-PublicFolderClientPermission -User Cam -AccessRights Editor

Validated that the change was successful.

Try the command again at a higher level just for testing. Also make sure that your public folders are replicating properly.

Hi Rahul,

Thank you for your question.

First, we should make sure the permission which has been added to public folder by the following command:

Get-PublicFolderClientPermission "\My Public Folder" User mno213

Then, we could check if the user account could access the public folder by OWA. If user could, we could rebuild the profile; if not, we could restart the service which is Microsoft Exchange Information Store.

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

Best Regard,

Jim

Hi All

Did tried all your suggestions , nothing seems to be working here.. We using exchange 2007 and Outlook 2010 client is there a compatibility issue

Hi Rahui,

Did you run the following command to make sure permission which has been added to public folder:

Get-PublicFolderClientPermission "\My Public Folder" User mno213

If the permission has been existed, please run AD replication, then check if the issue persist.

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

Best Regard,

Jim
