Add a Role to an Assignment Policy

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010

If you want to enable users to manage a feature on their mailboxes, you can add a management role to the management role assignment policy they're assigned to. This is done by creating a management role assignment between the role and the assignment policy. If more than one user is assigned an assignment policy, all the users gain the ability to manage that feature. For more information about assignment policies and management role assignments in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, see the following topics:

• Understanding Management Role Assignment Policies

Use the Shell to add a role to an assignment policy

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

To create a management role assignment between a role and an assignment policy, use the following syntax.

New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Name <role assignment name> -Role <role name> -Policy <assignment policy name>

This example creates the role assignment Seattle Users - Voicemail between the MyVoicemail role and the Seattle Users assignment policy.

New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Name "Seattle Users - Voicemail" -Role MyVoicemail -Policy "Seattle Users"

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see New-ManagementRoleAssignment.
