UM Management
Applies to: Exchange Server 2013
The UM Management management role group is one of several built-in role groups that make up the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions model in Microsoft Exchange Server 2013. Role groups are assigned one or more management roles that contain the permissions required to perform a given set of tasks. The members of a role group are granted access to the management roles assigned to the role group. For more information about role groups, see Understanding management role groups.
Administrators who are members of the UM Management role group can manage features in the Exchange organization such as Unified Messaging (UM) service configuration, UM properties on mailboxes, UM prompts, and UM auto attendant configuration.
For more information about Unified Messaging, see Unified Messaging.
For more information about RBAC, see Understanding Role Based Access Control.
If you want to add or remove members to or from this role group, see Manage role group members.
By default, only members of the Organization Management role group can add or remove members from this role group. For more information about how to add additional role group delegates, see the "Add or remove a role group delegate" section in Manage role groups.
You can use the following command to view a list of users or universal security groups (USGs) that are members of this role group.

For more information about the members of a role group, see the "View the members of a role group" section in Manage role group members.
This role group is assigned management roles by default. The roles that are included are listed in the "Management Roles Assigned to this Role Group" section. You can add or remove role assignments to or from this role group to match the needs of your organization.
The role groups provided with Exchange 2013 are designed to match more granular tasks. By assigning roles to a role group, you enable the members of that role group to perform the tasks associated with the role. For example, the Journaling role enables the management of the Journaling agent and journaling rules. For more information about how roles are assigned to role groups, see Understanding management role assignments.
The roles assigned to this role group are given default management scopes. Management scopes determine what Exchange objects can be viewed or modified by the members of a role group. You can change the scopes associated with assignments between roles and role groups. For example, you might want to do this if you only want members of a role group to be able to change recipients that are under a specific organizational unit or in a specific location. For more information about management scopes, see Understanding management role scopes.

If you want to create a role group and assign some of the roles that are assigned to this role group to the new role group, see the "Create a role group" section in Manage role groups.
