```
7. Additional requirements if you want to connect to O365:

To connect Metalogix Archive Manager to an Office 365 account, first, you must set up an account that will be used by the software to connect to Office 365. When setting up this account we need the following prerequisites:
- The account must have a mailbox in Office 365
- If you still have an on-premise Exchange environment, we recommend creating an account in your on-premise Exchange environment and migrating the account to Office 365
- The account can be a Global Administrator for your Office 365 account or other account having following rights granted (member of):
- Organization Management
- View-Only Organization Management
- Public Folder Management
- Outlook 2016 32-bit or newer should be installed on the archive server
- You should be able to setup a mail profile for the account on the archive server. Metalogix Archive Manager will not be able to connect to an Office 365 account if there are problems with mail routing or autodiscover.
- The account will need access to your Office 365 mailboxes and needs impersonation which should be granted using the following Powershell commands:
```
$LiveCred = Get-Credential
```
```
$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
```
```
Import-PSSession $Session 
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited -Filter {RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'UserMailbox'} | Add-Mailboxpermission -User admin@company.com -AccessRights fullaccess -InheritanceType all -Automapping $False
```
```
New-ManagementRoleAssignment –Name "Impersonation-Metalogix" –Role "ApplicationImpersonation" –User admin@company.com

```
Add-RoleGroupMember "Impersonation-Metalogix" -Member admin@company.com
```
