By giving full control of an automation workflow to a user or group, you authorize the user or group to perform the following tasks:
-
View the workflow definition.
-
Make changes to the workflow.
-
Run the workflow.
-
View the workflow run history reports.
You can delegate full control of all automation workflows held in a certain container by applying the Automation Workflow - Full Control Access Template to that container.

To create a remote mailbox for an existing user, you can convert the on-premises user to a hybrid Azure user with an Office 365 automation workflow and a hybrid migration script, based on the built-in Sample Azure Hybrid Migration script.
The Sample Azure Hybrid Migration script is available at the following location in the Active Roles Console:
Configuration > Script Modules > Builtin > Sample Azure Hybrid Migration
The remote mailbox workflow, on the other hand, is available at the following location in the Active Roles Console:
Configuration > Policies > Workflow > Builtin > Sample Azure Hybrid Migration
Prerequisites
To create remote mailboxes via hybrid migration with the Sample Azure Hybrid Migration script, your organization must meet the following requirements:
-
To enable remote mailboxes, the Exchange management tools of an on-premises Microsoft Exchange installation must be available. For more information on the Microsoft Exchange Server versions supported by Active Roles, see System requirements in the Active Roles Release Notes.
-
The Active Roles service account must be a part of the Recipient Management management role group to run Exchange hybrid commands.
To configure and run the Sample Azure Hybrid Migration script
-
Depending on whether you want to enable or disable remote mailboxes, use one of the following functions:
-
EnableRemoteMailBox: Use this function to enable remote mailboxes for the users in the workflow scope. Select EnterExchangeCreds_params as the function to declare parameters in the script, then provide the Exchange user name and password to run the EnableRemoteMailBox function in workflow.
-
DisableRemoteMailBox: Use this function to disable remote mailboxes for the users in the workflow scope. Select EnterExchangeCreds_params as the function to declare parameters in the script, then provide the Exchange user name, password and Exchange recipient type details to run the DisableRemoteMailBox function in workflow.
-
Make sure to specify the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Exchange Server in the script, and that you modify the required code blocks. For more information on declaring script parameters, see Script activity.
-
After the script is modified, enable or copy the default Sample Azure Hybrid Migration workflow and run it.
By default, a remote mailbox is created for users with a valid Exchange Online license and who have no on-premises Exchange mailbox. For more information on creating a remote mailbox for new users, see Creating a new hybrid Azure user with the Active Roles Web Interface in the Active Roles Web Interface User Guide.
NOTE: One Identity provides the Remote mailbox migration (RemoteMailbox.ps1) script as a sample script to illustrate the required steps of creating remote mailboxes.
Do not use the script in a production environment without the required modifications and enhancements. Using security credentials within a script in clear text is never secure. When testing the script, consider the appropriate authentication and use of credentials. After testing, do not leave any credentials in clear text in the script.
