There are two methods by which a user is granted the permissions to administer public folders:
- Public Folder Management role group
Adding the user to the Public Folder Management role group is similar to assigning the Public Folder Administrator role in Exchange 2007. It grants the user all the permissions necessary for managing public folders.
- PublicFolderAdminstrativePermission cmdlet set
Using these cmdlets is more granular and gives you the ability to specify the scope for the user in the organization by modifying the database's access control lists (ACLs).

By default, a maximum of 1,000 role group members are
