Figuring out RBAC

RBAC probably won’t make much of a difference to the way that the administrator of a small Exchange deployment approaches her work. If you log into the Administrator account and perform all tasks from there, the default assignment of the Organization Management role to the Administrator account means that the account is all powerful and has full read and write access to any object in the Exchange organization, much in the same way that the Administrator account can do anything with Active Directory. RBAC is much more interesting and useful within larger deployments where finer granularity is often required for administrator roles.
