Add-PublicFolderClientPermission

The AccessRights parameter specifies the rights that you want to add for the user on the public folder.

You can specify individual folder permissions or roles, which are combinations of permissions. You can specify multiple permissions and roles separated by commas.

The following individual permissions are available:

• CreateItems: The user has the right to create items within the specified public folder.
• CreateSubfolders: The user has the right to create subfolders in the specified public folder.
• DeleteAllItems: The user has the right to delete all items in the specified public folder.
• DeleteOwnedItems: The user has the right to delete items that the user owns in the specified public folder.
• EditAllItems: The user has the right to edit all items in the specified public folder.
• EditOwnedItems: The user has the right to edit the items that the user owns in the specified public folder.
• FolderContact: The user is the contact for the specified public folder.
• FolderOwner: The user is the owner of the specified public folder. The user has the right to view and move the public folder and create subfolders. The user can't read items, edit items, delete items, or create items.
• FolderVisible: The user can view the specified public folder, but can't read or edit items within the specified public folder.
• ReadItems: The user has the right to read items within the specified public folder.

In addition to access rights, you can create rights based upon roles, which includes multiple access rights. This parameter accepts the following values for roles:

• Author: CreateItems, DeleteOwnedItems, EditOwnedItems, FolderVisible, ReadItems
• Contributor: CreateItems, FolderVisible
• Editor: CreateItems, DeleteAllItems, DeleteOwnedItems, EditAllItems, EditOwnedItems, FolderVisible, ReadItems
• None: FolderVisible
• NonEditingAuthor: CreateItems, DeleteOwnedItems, FolderVisible, ReadItems
• Owner: CreateItems, CreateSubfolders, DeleteAllItems, DeleteOwnedItems, EditAllItems, EditOwnedItems, FolderContact, FolderOwner, FolderVisible, ReadItems
• PublishingAuthor: CreateItems, CreateSubfolders, DeleteOwnedItems, EditOwnedItems, FolderVisible, ReadItems
• PublishingEditor: CreateItems, CreateSubfolders, DeleteAllItems, DeleteOwnedItems, EditAllItems, EditOwnedItems, FolderVisible, ReadItems
• Reviewer: FolderVisible, ReadItems

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.

This parameter is available only in on-premises Exchange.

The DomainController parameter specifies the domain controller that's used by this cmdlet to read data from or write data to Active Directory. You identify the domain controller by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, dc01.contoso.com.

The Identity parameter specifies the GUID or public folder name that represents a specific public folder. You can also include the path using the format TopLevelPublicFolder\PublicFolder.

You can omit the parameter label so that only the public folder name or GUID is supplied.

This parameter is available only in Exchange Server 2010.

The Server parameter specifies the Exchange server where you want to run this command. You can use any value that uniquely identifies the server. For example:

• Name
• FQDN
• Distinguished name (DN)
• Exchange Legacy DN

If you don't use this parameter, the command is run on the local server.

The User parameter specifies the user for whom rights are being added.

For the best results, we recommend using the following values:

• UPN: For example, [email protected] (users only).
• Domain\SamAccountName: For example, contoso\user.

The WhatIf switch simulates the actions of the command. You can use this switch to view the changes that would occur without actually applying those changes. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.
