Cmdlet Tips

  • UserId Parameter: The -UserId parameter accepts either the user principal name (UPN) or the user ID.
  • MailFolderId Parameter: The -MailFolderId parameter is required and specifies the ID of the mail folder.
  • ExpandProperty and Property Parameters: Use these parameters to retrieve additional properties or expand relationships.

Use Cases

  • Compliance Audits: Ensure that users are not creating rules that violate company policies.
  • Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve issues caused by specific message rules.
  • Monitoring: Regularly review user-created rules to prevent potential security risks.

Possible Errors & Solutions

Error: "Resource not found"

Cause: The specified mail folder or message rule does not exist.

Solution: Verify the -MailFolderId and -MessageRuleId parameters. Use the Get-MgUserMailFolder cmdlet to list all mail folders and their IDs for the user.

Error: "Access Denied"

Cause: Insufficient permissions to access the user's mail folder or message rules.

Solution: Ensure that the executing account has the necessary permissions. Consider using delegated permissions with appropriate scopes (e.g., Mail.Read).

Error: "Invalid UserId"

Cause: The -UserId parameter is incorrect or the user does not exist.

Solution: Double-check the user principal name (UPN) or user ID. Use the Get-MgUser cmdlet to verify the user information.

The Get-MgUserMailFolderMessageRule cmdlet is a powerful tool for managing and monitoring email message rules within an organization.
