This cmdlet is available only in Security & Compliance PowerShell. For more information, see Security & Compliance PowerShell.

Use the Remove-eDiscoveryCaseAdmin cmdlet to remove an eDiscovery Administrator from the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. To replace all eDiscovery Administrators, use the Update-eDiscoveryCaseAdmin cmdlet.

Syntax

Remove-eDiscoveryCaseAdmin
      -User <String>
      [-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.

When you remove a user from the list of eDiscovery Administrators, the user isn't removed from the eDiscovery Manager role group. That means the user can still view and access the eDiscovery cases they are a member of and the eDiscovery cases they created. To remove all eDiscovery permissions, you can remove the user from the eDiscovery Manager role group by running the Remove-RoleGroupMember cmdlet.

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

Remove-eDiscoveryCaseAdmin -User [email protected]

This example removes 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.
