Management prerequisites for Microsoft Places

License

You need an Exchange Online license to run the Microsoft Places PowerShell cmdlets.

Tools

You need PowerShell 7 version 7.4.0 or later. You can't use Windows PowerShell to manage Microsoft Places. Go to Installing PowerShell to download the latest version of PowerShell.

You also need the following PowerShell modules:

• Exchange Online
• Microsoft Teams
• Microsoft Places

Verify that you have the latest MicrosoftPlaces PowerShell module installed. Use the following command to install or update it:

Install-Module -Name MicrosoftPlaces -Force

Permissions

Places supports three built-in roles: Places Administrator, Places Building Administrator, and Places Desk Administrator. For a detailed overview of each role, refer to the "Configure administrator roles" section.

You need two Exchange Online management roles: TenantPlacesManagement (to manage Places) and MailRecipient (to manage users and mailboxes).

Alternatively, the Exchange administrator role has the necessary permissions to manage mail recipient objects, and accounts with the Exchange administrator role often also have the TenantPlacesManagement role assigned. If your account doesn't have the TenantPlacesManagement role assigned, you can assign it using PowerShell:

New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role TenantPlacesManagement -User <UPN>

Another option is to create a new role group called "Microsoft Places Management", grant the TenantPlacesManagement and MailRecipient roles to it, and then assign users to the new role group.

You can also use the Organization Management role group, but users in this group are overprivileged for managing Places.
