In this article, we will explore how to revoke the access rights that other users have on a mailbox, using both PowerShell and CoreView.
1. Using PowerShell
To remove permissions from a user's mailbox, or from an Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, or Exchange Online mail user, use the “Remove-MailboxPermission” cmdlet.
This cmdlet allows you to revoke permissions from a user's mailbox. For instance, you can remove another user's full access to a mailbox.
Before you can execute this cmdlet, you must have the appropriate permissions assigned to you.
To find out what permissions are required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, please refer to Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.
Syntax
Remove-MailboxPermission
Example:
Remove-MailboxPermission -Identity "CoreView Demo" -User "Test User" -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All
This example shows how to remove Test User's full access permission to CoreView Demo mailbox.

2. Using CoreView
