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.
