What are the minimal permissions required to run Enable-Mailbox via Exchange Powershell

exchangeexchange-2010

We want a user that is only able to create mailboxes (Enable-Mailbox) for any user in our AD on any of our mailbox servers.

So far, we've seen a range of suggestions as far as what permissions are required for that. Microsoft's documentations isn't clear either. Anyone know?

Best Answer

The Mail Recipient Creation role allows an individual to create a recipient. The Mail Recipients role enables a user to manage existing boxes.

It sounds like you want the Mail Recipient Creation role.
