Problem

While using a migration tool to do some ‘on-prem’ to Office 365 migrations I had to enable ‘Application Impersonation’ for my Office 365 user. The tool didn’t explain how to do that, so I had to work it out for myself 🙁

So to make things easier for everyone else, here’s how to do it.

Solution

From within the Office 365 portal > Admin > Exchange.

Dashboard > Permissions > Admin roles.

Give the role a name/description e.g. Application-Impersonation (I hate spaces!) > Then Add the ApplicationInspection role, (seems the developers at Microsoft also hate spaces!) > OK.

Scroll down to ‘Members‘ and add in the user you want to allocate this role to > OK > Save.
