Assigning Exchange Roles in Microsoft Entra

To perform governance activities in your environment, the EasyLife 365 Mail Insiders application requires the Exchange Recipient Administrator role. This role grants the application administrative access to create, modify, and manage Exchange Online recipients within your organization. EasyLife 365 Mail Insiders uses these permissions to create and manage the resources (e.g. Distribution Group, Shared Mailboxes, Room Mailboxes) in your organization.

While you should have already granted Graph permissions, this additional permission must now be explicitly assigned to the EasyLife 365 Mail Insiders service principal to ensure continued access to recipient management functions

info

Ensure you have previously consented to the EasyLife 365 Mail Insiders application and have a Global Admin account to complete these steps.

Recipient Management Members have administrative access to create or modify Exchange Online recipients within the Exchange Online organization.
