Assigning Standard Exchange Management Permissions
To grant Exchange management permissions to a user or group of
users, all you need to do is make the user or group a member of the
appropriate Exchange management group. The tool of choice for managing
users in a domain is Active Directory Users And Computers. You can make
users, contacts, computers, or other groups members of an Exchange management group by completing the following steps:
-
Click Start, point to All Programs, select Administrative Tools, and select Active Directory Users And Computers.
-
In Active Directory Users And Computers, double-click the Exchange
management group you want to work with. This opens the group's
Properties dialog box.
-
Click the Members tab, as shown in Figure 2.
-
To make a user or group a member of the selected group, click Add.
The Select Users, Contacts, Computers, Service Accounts, Or Groups
dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 3.
-
Type the name of the account to which you want to grant permissions,
and then click Check Names. If matches are found, select the account
you want to use and then click OK. If no matches are found, update the
name you entered, and try searching again. Repeat this step as
necessary. Click OK.
You can remove a user, contact, computer, service account, or other
group from an Exchange management group by completing the following
steps:
-
Open Active Directory Users And Computers.
-
In Active Directory Users And Computers, double-click the Exchange
management group with which you want to work. This opens the group's
Properties dialog box.
-
On the Members tab, click the user or group you want to remove and
then click Remove. When prompted to confirm, click Yes, and then click
OK.
You can use the Exchange Control Panel (ECP) to manage membership in role groups. By default, the Exchange Control Panel URL is https://yourserver.yourdomain.com/ecp.
When you are managing the organization and Users & Groups is
selected in the left pane, you can select the Administrator Roles tab
to work with Exchange role groups. When you select a role, the
right-most pane provides a description of the role, lists the assigned
roles, and also shows the current members. While working with this
view, you can double-click a group entry to view and manage its
membership.
