I like being able to report to our clients exactly what the permissions on mailboxes are. The only issue with reporting via the Office 365 admin portal is that we don’t get a history. I’ve decided to make sure that I can do this by documenting the permissions daily.

To do this, I have two versions of the script; one for IT-Glue and one for general HTML file usage. Both scripts connect to the Office365 Exchange PowerShell using the Secure App Model. For more information you can check this blog post.

IT-Glue version

The IT-Glue version gets all contacts in your IT-Glue environment, compares these to the domains found in each of your partner tenants and documents the permissions for the right tenant into the correct IT-Glue client. The script creates a Flexible Asset for you if it does not yet exist.
