Exchange 2007 Server Setup Permissions Reference

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 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP3

This topic describes the permissions that are required to set up a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 organization.

In some cases, the access control list (ACL) is not applied on the usual property, ntSecurityDescriptor, but on anther property, such as msExchMailboxSecurityDescriptor. The directory service cannot enforce security that is not specified in the Microsoft 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

    • Deny ACE

  • 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.

    • Names in italic indicate the attribute or attributes to which a Read Property or Write Property applies.

    • Names in plain text indicate the object class or classes to which an ACE is inherited.

    • Names in bold indicate the class name to which Create Child or Delete Child permissions apply.

  • 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.

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

Note
