Introduction

When it comes to managing security in Exchange 2013, you have several options, depending on the resources that you're dealing with. For example, you can allow multiple users to open a mailbox by assigning them full access permissions on a mailbox object, but granting administrators the ability to create recipient objects needs to be done through Role Based Access Control (RBAC). Obviously, since the security for both of these components is handled differently, we have unrelated sets of cmdlets that need to be used to get the job done, and managing each of them through the shell will require a unique approach.

In this chapter, we'll take a look at several solutions implemented through the Exchange Management Shell that address each of the components described previously, as well as some additional techniques that can be used to improve your efficiency when dealing with Exchange security.
