Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
- You create a management role assignment in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 environment.
- You assign the Mail Recipients role to a role assignee.
- You define the scope of the role assignment to an organizational unit.
- The role assignee tries to run the Add-MailboxPermission command or the Remove-MailboxPermission command on an Exchange Server 2010 server that is outside the role assignment scope.
In this scenario, the role assignee can unexpectedly run the Add-MailboxPermission command or the Remove-MailboxPermission command on the server.
Cause
This issue occurs because there is no Role Based Access Control (RBAC) verification when Exchange Server 2010 runs the Add-MailboxPermission command or the Remove-MailboxPermission command.
