View Public Folder Administrative Permission Settings

  • Article

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

There are two methods by which a user is granted the permissions to administer public folders:

  • Public Folder Management role group

    Adding the user to the Public Folder Management role group is similar to assigning the Public Folder Administrator role in Exchange 2007. It grants the user all the permissions necessary for managing public folders.

  • PublicFolderAdminstrativePermission cmdlet set

    Using these cmdlets is more granular and gives you the ability to specify the scope for the user in the organization by modifying the database's access control lists (ACLs).

Use the Shell to view members of the Public Folder Management role group

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Role groups" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.

Note

You can't use the EMC to view members of the Public Folder Management role group.

This example returns the members of the Public Folder Management role group.

Get-RoleGroupMember -Identity "Public Folder Management"

Note

By default, a maximum of 1,000 role group members are displayed. If you want to display more, you must use the ResultSize parameter to override the maximum number of members that are returned. You can type either an integer value or the value unlimited. The value unlimited returns all members of the role group.

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Get-RoleGroupMember.
