Required Permissions to Manage Unified Messaging

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP3

To perform administrative tasks on a server that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 that has the Unified Messaging server role installed, you must have the required permissions for the user account that you are logged on with. Administrative tasks can be delegated or assigned to users by using Exchange 2007 administrative roles.

Table 1 summarizes the minimum permissions that are required to perform administrative tasks on a Unified Messaging server.

Important

Logging on to a computer by using full administrative credentials may pose a security risk to the computer and the network. Therefore, as a security best practice, do not log on to a computer by using full administrative credentials when you want to perform routine administrative tasks. Instead, you can use the Secondary Logon service or the Run as command to start applications or additional commands in a different security context without having to log off the computer. The Run as command prompts you to enter different credentials before the application or command can run. For more information about the Run as command, see "Using Run as" in the Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition online Help.
