Sorry for the OT, but I wager if I can't find the answer to an Exchange
question on this list, it doesn't exist!

We're attempting to use a split permissions model for managing Exchange and
AD. The scheme is simple: each OU is a business unit with delegated full
rights to the OU and all objects contained within that OU. In addition, each
business unit gets delegated the proper and sufficient rights to their own
Storage Group and databases.

Recently, I was asked if it would be possible to delegate the right for an
OU administrator to be able to modify Full Access mailbox rights for their
users.

In other words, without giving the OU administrators Org Admin rights, is it
possible through *some* setting, to allow OU admins (currently Exchange
View-Only Admins) to give UserA Full Access to UserB's mailbox? Might this
be done through AD, for example?

Thanks in advance for *any* answers.

Delegate them Account Operator?

The SACL isn’t a separate attribute, it’s part of the ntSecurityDescriptor. I’m not sure what Exchange stores in there on a per recipient basis though? Usually it’s just auditing stuff mainly in the SACL.

Thanks,

Why not delegate them Account Operator for the OU? That gives WP to SACL doesn’t it?

There is a TechNet article that describes how to do this delegation:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/bb232100.aspx
and a Microsoft have also supplied powershell script to implement it.

Yes, Michael, you're correct. And we already used the script to provide for
the split permissions model we have.
Wow, if this one's stumped you, Michael, I don't believe it can be done! :-(
