Exchange 2010 Deployment Permissions Reference

 

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

This topic describes the permissions that are required to set up a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 organization. The universal security groups (USGs) that are associated with management role groups, and other Windows security groups and security principals, are added to the access control lists (ACLs) of various Active Directory objects. ACLs control what operations can be performed on each object. By understanding what permissions are granted to each role group, security group, or security principal, you can determine what minimum permissions are required to install Exchange 2010.

In some cases, the ACL isn't applied on the usual property, ntSecurityDescriptor, but on another property, such as msExchMailboxSecurityDescriptor. The directory service can't enforce security that isn't specified in the Windows security descriptor. In most cases, these ACLs are replicated to store ACLs on appropriate objects by the store service. Unfortunately, there is no tool to view these ACLs as anything other than raw binary data.

The columns of each permissions table include the following information:

• Account   The security principal granted or denied the permissions.

• ACE type   Access control entry (ACE) type

  • Allow ACE   An allow ACE allows the user or group associated with the ACE to access an item.

  • Deny ACE   A deny ACE prevents the user or group associated with the ACE from accessing an item.

• Inheritance   The type of inheritance used for child objects.

  • All indicates that the permissions apply to the object and all sub-objects.

  • Desc indicates the permissions apply to the object class listed in the On Property/Applies Torow.

  • None indicates those permissions only apply the object.

• Permissions   The permissions granted to the account.

• On Property/Applies To   In some cases, permissions apply only to a given property, property set, or object class. These limited permissions are specified here.

• Comments   When applicable, this column explains why the permissions are required or provides other information about the permissions.

The permissions are generally listed in the table by the names that are used on the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) Edit (AdsiEdit.msc) Security property page in the Advanced view on the View/Edit tab. The ADSI Edit Security property page lists a much more condensed view of the permissions. The LDP tool (Ldp.exe) displays the access mask directly as a numeric value. The setup code refers to the permissions by predefined constants.

The following table shows the relationships between these values.

ADSI Edit Summary page	ADSI Edit Advanced view, View/Edit tab	ACL entries applied to a given object	Binary value (access mask in LDP)
Full Control	Full Control	WRITE_OWNER | WRITE_DAC | READ_CONTROL | DELETE | ACTRL_DS_CONTROL_ACCESS | ACTRL_DS_LIST_OBJECT | ACTRL_DS_DELETE_TREE | ACTRL_DS_WRITE_PROP | ACTRL_DS_READ_PROP | ACTRL_DS_SELF | ACTRL_DS_LIST | ACTRL_DS_DELETE_CHILD | ACTRL_DS_CREATE_CHILD	0x000F01FF
Read	List Contents + Read All Properties + Read Permissions	ACTRL_DS_LIST | ACTRL_DS_READ_PROP | READ_CONTROL	0x00020014
Write	Write All Properties + All Validated Writes	ACTRL_DS_WRITE_PROP | ACTRL_DS_SELF	0x00000028
	List Contents	ACTRL_DS_LIST	0x00000004
	Read All Properties	ACTRL_DS_READ_PROP	0x00000010
	Write All Properties	ACTRL_DS_WRITE_PROP	0x00000020
	Delete	DELETE	0x00010000
	Delete Subtree	ACTRL_DS_DELETE_TREE	0x00000040
	Read Permissions	READ_CONTROL	0x00020000
	Modify Permissions	WRITE_DAC	0x00040000
	Modify Owner	WRITE_OWNER	0x00080000
	All Validated Writes	ACTRL_DS_SELF	0x00000008
	All Extended Rights	ACTRL_DS_CONTROL_ACCESS	0x00000100
Create All Child Objects	Create All Child Objects	ACTRL_DS_CREATE_CHILD	0x00000001
Delete All Child Objects	Delete All Child Objects	ACTRL_DS_DELETE_CHILD	0x00000002
		ACTRL_DS_LIST_OBJECT	0x00000080

Extended rights are custom rights specified by individual applications. They are specified in the ACL. However, they are meaningless to Active Directory. The specific application enforces any extended rights. Examples of Exchange extended rights are "Create public folder" or "Create named properties in the information store."

Note

Server Role Installation

During installation of the Client Access, Hub Transport, Unified Messaging, and Mailbox server roles, Setup adds the Organization Management USG to the administrator security group on the local computer so that members of the management role group named Organization Management can manage the server.

The following permissions table shows the permissions set when you install the Client Access, Hub Transport, Unified Messaging, or Mailbox server roles.
