Figuring out RBAC

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