Management role entries on unscoped top-level management roles refer to the scripts and non-Exchange cmdlets, and their parameters, that you want to make available to those assigned the role. By changing the parameters available on a role entry, you control what those assigned the role can do with the script or non-Exchange cmdlet. For more information about unscoped role entries, see Understanding Management Roles.

If you want to change a role entry on a management role that contains Exchange cmdlets, see Change a Role Entry. |

Prerequisites
The ability to change a role entry on an unscoped top-level role isn't included in any management role group by default. You must first assign the Unscoped Role Management role to a user, or to a universal security group (USG) or role group of which the user is a member, before the user is able to add or change an unscoped top-level role entry. For more information about adding a role to a user, USG, or role group, see the following topics:

You can't use the EMC to change a role entry. |
Use the Shell to add one or more parameters to a role entry
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Unscoped management roles" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.
To add parameters to an unscoped top-level role entry, you need to do the following:
- Specify the parameters you want to add using the
Parameters parameter.
- Specify the AddParameter parameter to indicate that you
want to perform an add operation.
- Specify the UnscopedTopLevel parameter to indicate that
you're changing a role entry on an unscoped top-level role. If you
don't specify this parameter when you change a role entry on an
unscoped role, an error occurs.
To add parameters to a role entry, use the following syntax.
Copy Code | |
---|---|
Set-ManagementRoleEntry <role name>\<script or non-Exchange cmdlet> -Parameters <parameter 1>, <parameter 2>, <parameter...> -AddParameter -UnscopedTopLevel |
This example adds the EmailAddress and City parameters to the CreateUsers.ps1 script on the Recipient Administrators unscoped role.
Copy Code | |
---|---|
Set-ManagementRoleEntry "Recipient Administrators\CreateUsers.ps1" -Parameters EmailAddress, City -AddParameter -UnscopedTopLevel |
For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-ManagementRoleEntry.
Use the Shell to remove one or more parameters from a role entry
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Unscoped management roles" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.
To remove parameters from a role entry, you need to do the following:
- Specify the parameters you want to remove using the
Parameters parameter.
- Specify the RemoveParameter parameter to indicate that
you want to perform a remove operation.
- Specify the UnscopedTopLevel parameter to indicate that
you're changing a role entry on an unscoped top-level role. If you
don't specify this parameter when you change a role entry on an
unscoped role, an error occurs.
Caution: |
---|
You can't undo remove operations. If you mistakenly remove a parameter from a role entry, you must add it again manually. |
To remove parameters from a role entry, use the following syntax.
Copy Code | |
---|---|
Set-ManagementRoleEntry <role name>\<script or non-Exchange cmdlet> -Parameters <parameter 1>, <parameter 2>, <parameter...> -RemoveParameter -UnscopedTopLevel |
This example removes the Delay, Force, and Credential parameters from the Start-Widget non-Exchange cmdlet on the Tier 1 Server Administrators role.
Copy Code | |
---|---|
Set-ManagementRoleEntry "Tier 1 Server Administrators\Start-Widget" -Parameters Delay, Force, Credential -RemoveParameter -UnscopedTopLevel |
For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-ManagementRoleEntry.
Use the Shell to remove all parameters from a role entry
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Unscoped management roles" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.
To remove all of the parameters from a role entry, you need to do the following:
- Specify the value
$Null
on the Parameters parameter. You don't need to include the RemoveParameter parameter.
- Specify the UnscopedTopLevel parameter to indicate that
you're changing a role entry on an unscoped top-level role. If you
don't specify this parameter when you change a role entry on an
unscoped role, an error occurs.
Removing all the parameters from a role entry is most useful when you want to make only a few parameters available on a script or non-Exchange cmdlet and exclude all of the other parameters.
If you don't want the role to have access to a script or non-Exchange cmdlet, remove the associated role entry from the role completely instead of just removing the parameters. For more information about how to remove a role entry from a role, see Remove a Role Entry from a Role.

You can't undo remove operations. If you mistakenly remove all the parameters from a role entry, you must add them again manually. |
To remove all the parameters from a role entry, use the following syntax.
Copy Code | |
---|---|
Set-ManagementRoleEntry <role name>\<script or non-Exchange cmdlet> -Parameters $Null -UnscopedTopLevel |
This example removes all the parameters from the FindMailboxesOverQuota.ps1 script on the Recipient Administrators role.
Copy Code | |
---|---|
Set-ManagementRoleEntry "Recipient Administrators\FindMailboxesOverQuota.ps1" -Parameters $Null -UnscopedTopLevel |
For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-ManagementRoleEntry.
Use the Shell to apply a specific set of parameters
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Unscoped management roles" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.
If you want only a specific set of parameters to be included on a role entry, you need to do the following:
- Specify the Parameters parameter only. Don't include the
AddParameter or RemoveParameter parameters.
- Specify the UnscopedTopLevel parameter to indicate that
you're changing a role entry on an unscoped role. If you don't
specify this parameter when you change a role entry on an unscoped
top-level role, an error occurs.
Caution: |
---|
When you specify only the Parameters parameter, only the parameters you specify in the command are included on the role entry. All other parameters are removed. |
To specify a specific set of parameters, use the following syntax.
Copy Code | |
---|---|
Set-ManagementRoleEntry <role name>\<script or non-Exchange cmdlet> -Parameters <parameter 1>, <parameter 2>, <parameter...> -UnscopedTopLevel |
This example includes only the Alias, DisplayName, WidgetConfig, and Enabled parameters on the Set-Widget cmdlet on the Seattle Mail Recipient Admins role.
Copy Code | |
---|---|
Set-ManagementRoleEntry "Seattle Mail Recipient Admins\Set-UMMailbox" -Parameters Alias, DisplayName, WidgetConfig, Enabled -UnscopedTopLevel |
For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-ManagementRoleEntry.
