If you want to enable users to manage a feature on their mailboxes, you can add a management role to the management role assignment policy they're assigned to. If more than one user is assigned an assignment policy, all the users gain the ability to manage that feature. For more information about assignment policies in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, see Understanding Management Role Assignment Policies.
