Remove a Role from an Assignment Policy
Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2
If you don't want end users to have permissions to manage certain features of their mailbox or distribution group, you can remove the management role that grants the permissions from the management role assignment policy the user is assigned. If other users are assigned the same assignment policy, they also lose the ability to manage that feature. For more information about assignment policies in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, see Understanding Management Role Assignment Policies.
