Assigning and suspending administrative privileges

If you are maintaining a staff of specialized administrators, you might need to update the administrative staff by creating specialized administrators.

What you need to know to assign administrative privileges

• the tasks that will be assigned to the mailbox owner

• the set of administrative rights required by the administrator

You cannot assign administrative privileges to a mailbox owner on a remote server.
