Use Exchange Administration Delegation Wizard

Exchange Administration Delegation Wizard simplifies delegating permissions to Exchange administrators. You can delegate administrative permissions at the organization level in System Manager, or at an administrative group level. The scope of permissions you set is determined by the location from which you launch the wizard. If you launch the wizard from the organization level, the groups or users that you specify will have administrative permissions at the organizational level. If you launch the wizard from the administrative group level, the groups or users that you specify will have administrative permissions at the administrative group level.
