I'm relatively new to PowerShell and trying to figure out a few things. I've learned that I can give people access to others' calendars through PowerShell, but I'm curious if I can do the same for contacts. I haven't been able to find a specific cmdlet that allows this, so I'm wondering if it's actually possible. I thought I had the solution with this command:
add-mailboxfolderpermission -Identity :Contacts -User -AccessRights PublishingEditor. But now I'm beginning to think that contacts might not even be stored in the mailbox?

Great question! Yes, you can definitely manage contact permissions in PowerShell, and it seems you've got the right idea! Just use the cmdlet for mailbox folder permissions but specify contacts instead of calendars. For example:
Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "[email protected]:\Contacts" -User [email protected] -AccessRights PublishingEditor. It's really that simple!
...that's so simple it hurts. I don't know why I didn't think about it.
