Client permissions are used to grant user accounts access to a Public Folder, and you can do so using a preconfi gured set of permissions, or you can set up custom permissions. Administrative rights are used to specify users or groups that should be allowed to use the EMS or Exchange 2003 System Manager or to change the replication limits as well as other settings for a Public Folder. You can confi gure client permission settings for a Public Folder using the EMS, the Exchange 2003 System Manager, or an Outlook MAPI client. To give or remove client permissions using the EMS, you’ll need to use the Add-PublicFolder-ClientPermission and/or Remove-PublicFolderClientPermission CMDlets. So, to give a user account named HEW belonging to a domain named Exchangedogfood.dk permissions to create items in a Public Folder called Finance on a server called EDFS03, we would need to use the following command: Add-PublicFolderClientPermission -Identity \“Finance” -User HEW -AccessRights CreateItems -Server “EDSF03” To remove this permission again, you would need to type: Remove-PublicFolderClientPermission -Identity \“Finance” -User HEW -AccessRights CreateItems -Server “EDSF03” The available parameters for the Add-PublicFolderClientPermission and Remove- PublicFolderClientPermission CMDlets are listed in Table 4.2. Table 4.2 Public Folder Client Permission Parameters Parameter Description AccessRights This parameter is used to specify the rights you want to add to the Public Folder (such as CreateItems or DeleteOwnedItems). DomainController This parameter is used to specify the domain controller to use to write this confi guration change to Active Directory. You need to use the FQDN of the DC to be used. Note: This parameter is optional. Identity This parameter is used to specify a unique identifi er (name) for the Public Folder. User This parameter is used to specify the UPN, domain/user, or alias of the user that should be granted rights to the public folder. Server This parameter is used to specify the server on which the selected operations should be performed. Managing the Exchange 2007 Mailbox Server Role • Chapter 4 181 In addition, as is also the case with previous versions of Exchange, you can use the Exchange 2003 System Manager (if you still have an Exchange 2003 server in your Exchange organization) or an Outlook MAPI client to set client permissions on a Public Folder. To set client permissions on a Public Folder using the Exchange 2003 System Manager, use the following steps: 1. On the respective Exchange 2003 server, open the System Manager by clicking Start | All Programs | Microsoft Exchange | Exchange System Manager. 2. Drill down to the Folders and expand the Public Folders node. 3. Now right-click the Public Folder for which you want to add or remove client permissions, then select Properties. 4.
