Detailed Description
If you have locked down your Active Directory domain (that is, if you have disabled permission inheritance) then the domain preparation that takes place when you install Lync Server will not be able to add the permissions needed to manage users, computers, contacts, application contacts, and InetOrg persons. (Enterprise administrators and domain administrators will still be able to manage these objects, but no one else, including members of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group, will have management permissions.) In that case, you will need to use the Grant-CsOUPermission cmdlet to grant the required security groups the required permissions. This must be done on a container-by-container basis for each Active Directory container that includes Lync Server user accounts.
Permissions granted by using thhhe Grant-CsOUPermission cmdlet can later be removed by using Revoke-CsOUPermission. If you run the Revoke-CsOUPermission cmdlet against an OU you will then need to be an enterprise administrator or a domain administrator in order to manage Lync Server users in that OU.
Who can run this cmdlet: You must be a domain administrator in order to run the Revoke-CsOUPermission cmdlet locally. To return a list of all the role-based access control (RBAC) roles this cmdlet has been assigned to (including any custom RBAC roles you have created yourself) run the following command from the Windows PowerShell prompt:
Get-CsAdminRole | Where-Object {$_.Cmdlets –match "Revoke-CsOUPermission"}
