Hello @Pavel Banar 

Have you ran the following command to ensure?

Get-PublicFolder -identity "\" -Recurse | Add-PublicFolderClientPermission -user serviceaccount@domain.com -AccessRights Owner

If you have confirmed account has top level permissions and is added correctly best to open a case and have support review further.

Hi Scoot yes

Thanks for confirming

Best to open a case for review. Might be something unique to config or perhaps it a false error. Support would need to dig into logs to confirm actual issue if permissions are already set.
