In many organizations, there are separate administrators for Microsoft Exchange, the Active Directory directory service, and the telecommunications equipment. Therefore, administrative functions must be delegated to maintain distinct boundaries between different levels of administrative permissions. This is known as a split permissions model. When you use the split permissions model, certain rights must be delegated to all parties so that they may complete their prescribed job functions without crossing the operational and security boundaries. This topic briefly introduces the split permissions model and contains links to topics that can help you plan and implement a split permissions model for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging.
