Steps to add Impersonation rights using GUI

• To perform EDB to Office 365 migration, the Office 365 account that you are Impersonating must be an Office 365 Mailbox user account.

• There is no requirement to set Impersonation rights to all the Office 365 mailbox accounts. Set Impersonation rights to only the user with global admin credentials and use this user for Office 365 login via the EdbMails application to connect to the Office 365 server. Using this impersonated user, EdbMails will list all the other users under this account and you can map them with the target mailboxes.
