View role scopes

Applies to: Exchange Server 2013

Management role scopes determine what objects are made available to a user so that the objects can be changed using the cmdlets and parameters assigned to them. You can view scopes to determine what scopes have been added to your organization, the configuration of a specific scope, or what scopes are orphans.

This example retrieves the details of the Seattle Servers scope.

Get-ManagementScope "Seattle Servers" | Format-List
