[<CommonParameters>] Description
The cmdlet and its parameters that you add to a role entry must exist in the parent role. You can't add role entries to built-in roles.
You can only add a role entry to a management role if the role entry exists in the role's parent role. For example, if you try to add the Search-Mailbox role entry to a role that's a child of the Mail Recipients role, you'll receive an error. This error occurs because the Search-Mailbox role entry doesn't exist in the Mail Recipients role. To add the Search-Mailbox role entry to a role, you need to create a role that's a child of the Mailbox Import Export role, which contains the Search-Mailbox role entry. Then you can use the Add-ManagementRoleEntry cmdlet to add the Search-Mailbox role entry to the new child role.
For more information about management role entries, see Understanding management roles.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1
Add-ManagementRoleEntry "Recipient Administrators\Get-Mailbox"This example adds a new role entry for the Get-Mailbox cmdlet to the Recipient Administrators management role. The role entry for the Get-Mailbox cmdlet is added exactly as it's configured in the Recipient Administrators parent role.
Example 2
Add-ManagementRoleEntry "Recipient Administrators\Get-Mailbox" -Parameters "Identity","Anr","Server","Filter"This example adds a new role entry for the Get-Mailbox cmdlet to the Recipient Administrators role. Only the Identity, Anr, Server and Filter parameters are added to the new role entry.
Example 3
Get-ManagementRoleEntry "Mail Recipients\*Mailbox*" | Add-ManagementRoleEntry -Role "Mailbox Administrators"This example uses the Get-ManagementRoleEntry cmdlet to retrieve a list of all the role entries that exist on the Mail Recipients management role that contain the string "Mailbox" in the cmdlet name and then adds them to the Mailbox Administrators role using the Add-ManagementRoleEntry cmdlet. The role entries are added to the child role exactly as they're configured on the parent role.
Example 4
Add-ManagementRoleEntry "IT Scripts\MailboxAudit" -Parameters "Department","Location" -UnScopedTopLevelIn on-premises Exchange, this example adds the MailboxAudit script with the Department and Location parameters to the IT Scripts unscoped top-level role. Note that the UnScopedTopLevel switch requires the UnScoped Role Management role, which isn't assigned to any role groups by default.
Parameters
-Confirm
The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.
- Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax:
-Confirm:$false. - Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.
