The members of a management role group are granted the permissions provided by the management roles assigned to the role group. You can view the members of a role group to see which users, universal security groups (USG), or other role groups are granted permissions by the role group you specify. For more information about role groups in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, see Understanding Management Role Groups.

Use the ECP to view the members of a role group

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Role groups" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.

To view the members of a role group, do the following:

  1. In the Exchange Management Console (EMC), navigate to Toolbox in the console tree.

  2. In the work pane, double-click Role Based Access Control (RBAC) User Editor to open the user editor in the Exchange Control Panel (ECP).

  3. Provide credentials in the Domain\user name and Password fields for an account that has the permissions needed to open the user editor in the ECP. Click Sign in.

  4. Click the Administrator Roles tab.

  5. To view the members of a role group, select the role group you want to view. The members of the role group are displayed in the details pane.

Use the Shell to view the members of a role group

You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Role groups" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.

To view the members of a role group, you must specify the name of the role group with the Get-RoleGroupMember cmdlet.

  1. To find the names of the role groups in your organization, use the following command:

    Get-RoleGroup

  2. Find the name of the role group whose members you want to list.

  3. To list the members of the role group, use the following syntax:

    Get-RoleGroupMember <role group name>

For example, to list all of the members of the "Organization Management" role group, use the following command:

Get-RoleGroupMember "Organization Management"

Note

A maximum of 1,000 role group members are displayed by default. If you want to display more than 1,000 members, you must use the ResultSize parameter to override the maximum number of members to return. You can type in either an integer value or the value unlimited. The value unlimited returns all members of the role group.
