Permissions Requirements

On-Premises And Hosted Exchange

To manage the permissions and delegates for the mailboxes and Public Folders in your organization, Folder Permissions Manager communicates with Exchange using an account that has been assigned to the Application Impersonation role; this is referred to as the impersonation account. The details of your Exchange environment, together with the details impersonation account, are specified in the Environment Configuration dialog.

How the impersonation account is created will depend on your Exchange environment:

•On-Premises Exchange Server

•Hosted Exchange

Office 365

When managing the permissions and delegates for mailboxes hosted on Office 365, Folder Permissions Manager uses an app registered in your Entra ID, which is configured in Environment Configuration dialog. More details about configuring mailbox access in Office can be found here.
