Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example removes the Send As permissions from user Kim on the user Administrator.

Copy Code
Remove-ADPermission -Identity Administrator -User Kim -ExtendedRights "Send As"

EXAMPLE 2

This example removes the ability for anonymous users to send messages through the Receive connector IP Secured Inbound.

Copy Code
Remove-ADPermission "IP Secured Inbound" -User "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON" -ExtendedRights ms-Exch-SMTP-Submit,ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient,ms-Exch-Bypass-Anti-Spam

Detailed Description

The ADPermission cmdlets can be used to directly modify Active Directory access control lists (ACLs). Although some Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 features may continue to use the ADPermission cmdlets to manage permissions, for example transport Send and Receive connectors, Exchange 2013 no longer uses customized ACLs to manage administrative permissions. If you want to grant or deny administrative permissions in Exchange 2013, you must use Role Based Access Control (RBAC). For more information about RBAC, see Permissions.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Legacy permissions" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ADRawEntryIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the object from which the permission should be removed.

You can specify either the distinguished name (DN) of the object or the object's name if it's unique. If the DN or name contains spaces, enclose the name in quotation marks (").

Instance

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.ADAcePresentationObject

The Instance parameter enables you to pass an entire object to the command to be processed. It's mainly used in scripts where an entire object must be passed to the command.

User

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.SecurityPrincipalIdParameter

The User parameter specifies the user object that will have permissions removed.

AccessRights

Optional

System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectoryRights[]

The AccessRights parameter specifies the rights needed to perform the operation. Valid values include:

  • CreateChild

  • DeleteChild

  • ListChildren

  • Self

  • ReadProperty

  • WriteProperty

  • DeleteTree

  • ListObject

  • ExtendedRight

  • Delete

  • ReadControl

  • GenericExecute

  • GenericWrite

  • GenericRead

  • WriteDacl

  • WriteOwner

  • GenericAll

  • Synchronize

  • AccessSystemSecurity

ChildObjectTypes

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ADSchemaObjectIdParameter[]

The ChildObjectTypes parameter specifies what type of object the permission should be removed from.

The ChildObjectTypes parameter can only be used if the AccessRights parameter is set to CreateChild or DeleteChild.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm switch can be used to suppress the confirmation prompt that appears by default when this cmdlet is run. To suppress the confirmation prompt, use the syntax -Confirm:$False. You must include a colon ( : ) in the syntax.

Deny

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Deny switch specifies whether the permission to remove is a deny permission.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.

ExtendedRights

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ExtendedRightIdParameter[]

The ExtendedRights parameter specifies the extended rights to remove.

InheritanceType

Optional

System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectorySecurityInheritance

The InheritanceType parameter specifies whether permissions are inherited.

InheritedObjectType

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ADSchemaObjectIdParameter

The InheritedObjectType parameter specifies what kind of object inherits this access control entry (ACE).

Properties

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ADSchemaObjectIdParameter[]

The Properties parameter specifies what properties the object contains.

The Properties parameter can only be used if the AccessRights parameter is set to ReadProperty, WriteProperty, or Self.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
