Delegate Roles for Exchange Server 2010/2013 on a Domain Controller or Member Server

In Exchange Server 2010/2013, the procedure is not supported by the interface and must be performed using the Management Shell. Using the Management Shell, you must use the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) authorization system to assign permissions for the backup agent service account.

To delegate roles in Exchange Server 2010/2013

1. From the Exchange Server machine, click Start, Programs, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010/2013, Exchange Management Shell.

   The Exchange Management Shell opens.

2. Type the following command to add a mailbox as a member of a role group:

   Add-RoleGroupMember <"role group name"> -Member <"member">
   

   The permissions are assigned to the backup agent service account.

Example

In the following command, the mailbox, "exchagent" is added to the role group, "Organization Management", and inherits all access rights associated to that group.

Add -RoleGroupMember "Organization Management" -member "exchagent"
