Syntax

Set-RoleAssignmentPolicy
   [-Identity] <MailboxPolicyIdParameter>

Description

You can use the Set-RoleAssignmentPolicy cmdlet to change the name of an assignment policy or to set the assignment policy as the default assignment policy.

For more information about assignment policies, see Understanding management role assignment policies.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

Set-RoleAssignmentPolicy "End User Policy" -IsDefault

This example changes the default assignment policy. New mailboxes or mailboxes moved from previous versions of Exchange are assigned the default assignment policy when an explicit assignment policy isn't provided.

Parameters

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
