Examples
EXAMPLE 1
This example sets the role group managers list to David and Christine on the London Recipient Administrators role group.
 Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Set-RoleGroup "London Recipient Administrators" -ManagedBy "David", "Christine" |
|
EXAMPLE 2
This example sets the role group managers list to the Seattle Role Administrators USG on the Seattle Administrators role group. Because the user running the command wasn't added to the ManagedBy property of the role group, the BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck switch must be used. The user is assigned the Role Management role, which enables the user to bypass the security group manager check.
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Set-RoleGroup "Seattle Administrators" -ManagedBy "Seattle Role Administrators" -BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck |
|
EXAMPLE 3
This example modifies the linked foreign USG on the existing linked role group ContosoUsers: Toronto Recipient Admins. The foreign USG that should be linked is Toronto Tier 2 Administrators.
First, the credentials for the user forest need to be
stored in a variable so they can be used with the
Set-RoleGroup cmdlet. The following command retrieves the
credentials using the Get-Credential cmdlet and stores them
in the $Credentials variable.
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
$Credentials = Get-Credential |
|
Then, the foreign USG on the ContosoUsers: Toronto Recipient Admins linked role group is modified using the following command.
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Set-RoleGroup "ContosoUsers: Toronto Recipient Admins" -LinkedDomainController dc02.contosousers.contoso.com -LinkedCredential $Credentials -LinkedForeignGroup "Toronto Tier 2 Administrators" |

Detailed Description
If you want to add or remove members to or from an existing role group, use the Add-RoleGroupMember or Remove-RoleGroupMember cmdlets. If you want to add or remove management role assignments to or from a role group, use the New-ManagementRoleAssignment or Remove-ManagementRoleAssignment cmdlets. If you want to add or remove members to or from a linked role group, you must add or remove the members to or from the foreign universal security group (USG) in the foreign forest. To find the foreign USG, use the Get-RoleGroup cmdlet.
If the ManagedBy property is populated with role group managers, the user configuring a role group must be a role group manager. Alternately, if the user is a member of the Organization Management role group or is directly or indirectly assigned the Role Management role, the BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck switch can be used to override the security group management check.
For more information about role groups, see Understanding Management Role Groups.
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 "Role groups" entry in the Role Management Permissions topic.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Identity |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RoleGroupIdParameter |
The Identity parameter specifies the name of the role group to modify. If the name contains spaces, enclose the name in quotation marks ("). |
|
LinkedDomainController |
Required |
System.String |
The LinkedDomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address of the domain controller in the forest where the foreign USG resides. The domain controller you specify is used to get security information for the foreign USG specified by the LinkedForeignGroup parameter. You can only use the LinkedDomainController parameter with a linked role group. |
|
LinkedForeignGroup |
Required |
Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.UniversalSecurityGroupIdParameter |
The LinkedForeignGroup parameter specifies the name of the foreign USG you want to link this role group to. If the foreign USG name contains spaces, enclose the name in quotation marks ("). You can only use the LinkedForeignGroup parameter to change the foreign USG linked to an existing linked role group. You can't change a standard role group to a linked role group by using the Set-RoleGroup cmdlet. You must create a role group using the New-RoleGroup cmdlet. If you use the LinkedForeignGroup parameter, you must specify a domain controller in the LinkedDomainController parameter. |

|
Description |
Optional |
System.String |
The Description parameter specifies the description displayed when the role group is viewed using the Get-RoleGroup cmdlet. Enclose the description in quotation marks ("). |

If the Force switch isn't provided in the command, you're prompted for administrative input. You don't have to specify a value with this parameter. |
|
LinkedCredential |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.PSCredential |
The LinkedCredential parameter specifies credentials to use to access the domain controller specified by the LinkedDomainController parameter. You can only use the LinkedCredential parameter with a linked role group. This parameter requires the creation and passing of a credential object. This credential object is created by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. For more information, see Get-Credential. |
|
ManagedBy |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty |
The ManagedBy parameter specifies the users or USG who
can modify the configuration of a role group or add or remove
