Organization Configuration
Applies to: Exchange Server 2007 SP3, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP1
Use the Organization Configuration node to configure administrative access roles for users or groups. The result pane displays a list of identities that are configured as Exchange administrators, including the administrative role and scope assigned to them. In Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, these roles are called administrator roles and include the following:
Exchange Server Administrators
Exchange Organization Administrators group
Exchange Recipient Administrators group
Exchange View-Only Administrators group
The scope is displayed only for the Exchange Server Administrators role. If the role is Exchange Server Administrators, the scope is the Exchange servers to which that role applies. If the role is Exchange Organization Administrators, Exchange Recipient Administrators, or Exchange View-Only Administrators, the scope is the entire organization.
If you add the Exchange Server Administrators role to a user, that user inherits the permissions that are permitted by the Exchange Server Administrators role and the Exchange View-Only Administrators role.
For more information about the Exchange 2007 permissions model, see Permission Considerations.
