Script to help assign permisison to folders and subfolders

I thought that easy, when you have just 2 or 3 folders. How about 100 folder, it is still easy though if you know the script.

Get-MailboxFolderStatistics Mailboxname | where{ $_.folderpath -eq “/Foldername”) | Add-MailboxFolderPermission Mailbox -User Username -AccessRights “Level of access”

Unfortunately the above command won’t work. I found a script in a blog,

1. Get-MailboxFolderStatistics Username – This gives the list of folders
2. Filter a specific folder and it subfolder which needs access, where{ $_.folderpath.Contains(“//Foldername”)
3. Assign permission Add-MailboxFolderPermission Mailbox -User Username -AccessRights “Level of access”

Putting al together

foreach( $Folder in (Get-MailboxFolderStatistics username | where{ $_.folderpath.Contains(“/Foldername”) -eq $true } ))
{
$FPath = “Mailbox Name:” + $Folder.folderpath.replace(“/”,”\”);
Add-MailboxFolderPermission Mailbox -User Username -AccessRights “Level of access”
}

• Foreach is to help choose each folder and assign permission.
• $FPath = “Mailbox Name:” + $Folder.folderpath.replace(“/”,”\”) – This is to get the complete path of the subfolder
