Grant Export Permission in M365 Compliance Center

eDiscovery Manager - An eDiscovery Manager can use eDiscovery search tools to search content locations in the organization, and perform various search-related actions such as preview and export search results. Members can also create and manage cases in Microsoft Purview eDiscovery (Standard) and Microsoft Purview eDiscovery (Premium), add and remove members to a case, create case holds, run searches associated with a case, and access case data. eDiscovery Managers can only access and manage the cases they create. They can't access or manage cases created by other eDiscovery Managers.

eDiscovery Administrator - An eDiscovery Administrator is a member of the eDiscovery Manager role group, and can perform the same content search and case management-related tasks that an eDiscovery Manager can perform. Additionally, an eDiscovery Administrator can:

• Access all cases that are listed on the eDiscovery (Standard) and eDiscovery (Premium) pages in the Purview portal.

• Access case data in eDiscovery (Premium) for any case in the organization.

• Manage any eDiscovery case after they add themselves as a member of the case.

• Remove members from an eDiscovery case. Only an eDiscovery Administrator can remove members from a case. Users who are members of the eDiscovery Manager subgroup can't remove members from a case, even if the user created the case.
