Exchange Online in Microsoft 365 and Office 365 includes a set of predefined permissions for the role-based access control (RBAC) permission model that you can use out of the box to easily assign permissions to administrators and users. You can use the permissions features in Exchange Online to get your new organization up and running quickly.
RBAC is also a permission model used in Microsoft Exchange Server. Most of the links in this topic lead to topics related to Exchange Server. The concepts in these topics also apply to Exchange Online.

This topic does not discuss several RBAC features and concepts because they are advanced features. If the functionality discussed in this topic doesn't meet your needs and you want to further customize your permission model, take a lookLearn more about role-based access control.
role-based permissions
In Exchange Online, the permissions you grant to administrators and users are based on administrative roles. An administrative role defines a set of tasks that an administrator or user can perform. for example called administrative rolesmail recipientDefines the tasks that a person can perform on a set of mailboxes, contacts, and distribution groups. When an administrative role is assigned to an administrator or user, that person is granted the privileges provided by the administrative role.
Administrative roles and end user roles are two types of administrative roles. Here is a brief description of each type:
managerial role: These roles contain permissions that can be granted to administrators or professional users using role groups that manage part of your Exchange Online organization, such as recipients or compliance management.
the role of the end user: These roles are assigned role assignment rules that allow users to manage aspects of their own mailboxes and distribution groups that they own. End-user roles begin with a prefix
mine.
Administrative roles give administrators and users permission to perform tasks by issuing cmdlets to the person assigned the role. Because the Exchange Administrative Center (EAC) and Exchange Online PowerShell use cmdlets to manage Exchange Online, granting cmdlet access gives administrators or users permissions to perform tasks in any of the Exchange Online management interfaces.
Exchange Online includes role groups that can be used to grant permissions. See the next section for details.
Comment
Some administrative roles are only available for on-premises installations of Exchange Server and are not available in Exchange Online.
Role Groups and Role Assignment Rules
Administrative roles grant permissions to perform tasks in Exchange Online, but you need an easy way to assign them to administrators and users. Exchange Online provides the following to help you create assignments:
role group: Role groups allow you to grant permissions to administrators and special users.
Role Assignment Policy: Role assignment policies allow you to grant permission to end users to change settings in their own mailboxes or distribution groups that they own.
The following sections provide more information about role groups and role assignment strategies.
role group
Each administrator who manages Exchange Online must be assigned at least one or more roles. Administrators can have multiple roles because they can perform tasks that span multiple areas in Exchange Online.
To make it easier to assign multiple roles to administrators, Exchange Online includes role groups. When a role is assigned to a role group, the permissions granted by the role are granted to all members of the role group. This allows you to assign multiple roles to multiple members of a role group at once. Role groups typically encompass broader areas of administration, such as recipient management. They are only used with administrative roles, not end user roles. Members of a role group can be Exchange Online users and other role groups.
Comment
Roles can be assigned directly to users without using role groups. However, this method of assigning roles is an advanced procedure that is not covered in this topic. We recommend using role groups to manage permissions.
The following diagram shows the relationship between users, role groups, and roles.
Exchange Online includes several built-in role groups, each of which provides permissions to manage specific areas in Exchange Online. Some role groups may overlap with other role groups. The following table lists each role group and describes how to use it.
| role group | describe | assigned default role |

If you work in a small organization with only a few administrators, you may only need to add those administrators to the Organization Management role group and may never need to use other role groups. If you work in a larger organization, you may have administrators who perform specific tasks for administering Exchange Online, such as configuring recipients. In these cases, you can add one administrator to the Manage Recipients role group and another administrator to the Manage Organization role group. Those administrators can then manage their specific Exchange Online regions, but do not have permission to manage regions for which they are not responsible.
If the built-in role groups in Exchange Online do not match your administrator roles, you can create a role group and add roles to it. For more information seeUse role groupslater in this thread.
Role Assignment Policy
Exchange Online provides role assignment rules so you can control which settings your users can configure for their own mailboxes and distribution groups they own. These settings include their display name, contact information, voicemail settings, and distribution group membership.
Your Exchange Online organization may have multiple role assignment policies that provide different permission levels for different types of users in your organization. Some users can change their email address or create distribution groups, while others cannot, depending on the role assignment policy associated with their mailbox. Role assignment rules are added directly to mailboxes, and each mailbox can only be associated with one role assignment rule at a time.
One of the role assignment rules in your organization is marked as default. A default role assignment policy is associated with new mailboxes that were not explicitly assigned a specific role assignment policy when they were created. The default role assignment policy should contain permissions that apply to most mailboxes.
Use end-user roles to add permissions to role assignment rules. End user roles start withmineAnd give users permissions to manage only the mailboxes or distribution groups they own. They cannot be used to manage another mailbox. Only end-user roles can be assigned to role assignment rules.
When an end user role is assigned to a role assignment policy, all mailboxes associated with that role assignment policy inherit the permissions assigned to that role. This allows you to add or remove permissions for groups of users without configuring individual mailboxes. The image below shows:
End-user roles are assigned by role assignment rules. Role assignment policies can share the same end-user roles. For more information about the end-user roles available in Exchange Online, seeRules for assigning roles in Exchange Online.
A role assignment policy is associated with a mailbox. Each mailbox can be associated with only one role assignment policy.
Once a mailbox is associated with a role assignment policy, the end user role is applied to that mailbox. Permissions granted by a role are granted to mailbox users.
The default role assignment policy is part of Exchange Online. As the name suggests, this is the default role assignment strategy. To change the permissions for this role assignment policy or to create a role assignment policy, seeUse role assignment strategieslater in this thread.
Permissions for Microsoft 365 or Office 365 in Exchange Online
When you create a user in Microsoft 365 or Office 365, you can choose whether to assign different management roles to the user, such as global administrator, service administrator, password administrator, etc. Some (but not all) Microsoft 365 and Office 365 roles grant users administrative rights in Exchange Online.
Comment
Users who create a Microsoft 365 or Office 365 organization are automatically assigned the Microsoft 365 or Office 365 Global Administrator role.
The following table lists Microsoft 365 or Office 365 roles and their corresponding Exchange Online role groups.
| Microsoft 365 for Office 365 roles - | Exchange Online role group |
|---|---|
| global administrator | management of the organization Comment: The Global Administrator role and the Organization Management role group are linked using a special Company Administrator role group. The Company Administrator role group is internally managed by Exchange Online and cannot be changed directly. |
| billing administrator | There are no matching Exchange Online role groups. |
| password manager | Help Desk Administrator. |
| service administrator | There are no matching Exchange Online role groups. |
| User management administrator | There are no matching Exchange Online role groups. |
For a description of Exchange Online role groups, see the "Built-in role groups" table in therole group.
In Microsoft 365 or Office 365, when you add a user to the Global Administrator or Password Administrator role, that user receives the permissions provided by the corresponding Exchange Online role group. Other Microsoft 365 or Office 365 roles do not have corresponding Exchange Online role groups and do not grant administrator permissions in Exchange Online. For more information about assigning Microsoft 365 or Office 365 roles to users, see the sectionAssign administrative roles.
Users can get administrative permissions in Exchange Online without adding Microsoft 365 or Office 365 roles. You can do this by adding the user as a member of the Exchange Online role group. When users are added directly to an Exchange Online role group, they receive the permissions that role group grants them in Exchange Online. However, they do not get permissions for other Microsoft 365 or Office 365 components. They only have administrator privileges in Exchange Online. Users can be added to any of the role groups listed in the Built-in Role Groups tablerole groupThe exceptions are the Company Administrator and Help Desk Administrator role groups. For more information about adding users directly to Exchange Online role groups, seeUse role groups.
Use role groups
To manage permissions using role groups in Exchange Online, we recommend using the EAC. When you use the EAC to manage role groups, you can add and remove roles and members, create role groups, and duplicate role groups with just a few clicks. EAC offers simple dialogs such asadd a role groupdialog box (shown below) to perform these tasks.
Exchange Online consists of several role groups that divide permissions into specific administrative areas. If these existing role groups provide the permissions that administrators need to manage your Exchange Online organization, you just need to add the administrators as members of the appropriate role groups. After administrators are added to a role group, they can manage features related to that role group. To add or remove members from a role group, open the role group in the EAC, and then add or remove members from the members list. For a list of built-in role groups, see the "Built-in Role Groups" table inrole group.
important
If an administrator is a member of more than one role group, Exchange Online grants the administrator all the permissions granted by the role groups to which he or she belongs.
If none of the role groups belonging to Exchange Online have the permissions you need, you can use the EAC to create a role group and add roles that have the permissions you need. For your new group of characters, you will:
Choose a name for your character group.
Select the roles you want to add to the role group.
Add members to a role group.
Save the role group.
(Video) 23. Assign Full Access Permission on Other Mailboxes in Exchange Online | Microsoft 365
After you create a role group, you can manage it like any other role group.
If an existing role group has some (but not all) of the permissions you need, you can copy it and make changes to create a role group. You can copy an existing role group and modify it without affecting the original role group. As part of duplicating a role group, you can add a new name and description, add and remove roles from the new role group, and add new members. When creating or duplicating a role group, you can use the same dialog shown in the image above.
You can also modify existing role groups. You can add and remove roles and add and remove members from existing role groups using an EAC dialog similar to the one in the image above. Adding and removing roles from a role group enables and disables administrative capabilities for members of that role group.
Comment
Although you can change the roles assigned to a built-in role group, we recommend that you copy the built-in role group, modify the copy of the role group, and then add members to the copy of the role group. > The Company Administrator and Help Desk Administrator role groups cannot be copied or changed.
Use role assignment strategies
To manage the permissions you give end users to manage their own mailboxes in Exchange Online, we recommend using the EAC. When you use the EAC to manage end-user permissions, you can add roles, delete roles, and create role assignment rules with just a few clicks. EAC offers simple dialogs such asRole Assignment Policydialog box (shown below) to perform these tasks.
Exchange Online includes a role assignment rule called the default role assignment rule. This role assignment rule allows users whose mailboxes are associated with them to:
- Join or leave a distribution group that allows members to manage their membership.
- View and change basic mailbox settings for your own mailbox, such as inbox rules, spelling behavior, spam settings, and Microsoft ActiveSync devices.
- Change their contact information, such as their work address and phone number, mobile number and pager number.
- Create, change or view SMS settings.
- View or change your voicemail settings.
- View and modify their market applications.
- Create team mailboxes and link them to Microsoft SharePoint lists.
- Create, change, or view email subscription settings such as message format and default contract.
To add or remove permissions from the default role assignment policy or any other role assignment policy, you can use the EAC. The dialog you use is similar to the one in the image above. When accessing the role assignment policy in the EAC, select the check box next to the role you want to assign or clear the check box next to the role you want to delete. Changes you make to the role assignment policy will apply to each associated mailbox.
To assign different end-user permissions to different types of users in your organization, you can create role assignment rules. When creating a role assignment rule, you will see a dialog box similar to the one in the image above. You can enter a new name for the role assignment policy and select the roles you want to assign to the role assignment policy. After you create a role assignment rule, you can use the EAC to associate it with a mailbox.
To change the default role assignment policy, you must use Exchange Online PowerShell. When you change the default role assignment policy, all mailboxes created are associated with the new default role assignment policy unless otherwise specified. When you select new default role assignment rules, the role assignment rules associated with existing mailboxes are not changed.
Comment
If you select the check box of a role that has sub-roles, the sub-role's check boxes are also selected. Clearing the check box for a role that has sub-roles also clears the check boxes for the sub-roles.
For detailed role assignment procedures, seeRules for assigning roles in Exchange Online.
