Examples
EXAMPLE 1
This example removes the user David from the role group Recipient Management.
 Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Remove-RoleGroupMember "Recipient Management" -Member David |
|
EXAMPLE 2
This example finds all the mailboxes that are part of the Sales department and removes them from the Sales and Marketing Group role group.
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Get-User -Filter { Department -Eq "Sales" -And -RecipientType -Eq "UserMailbox" } | Get-Mailbox | Remove-RoleGroupMember "Sales and Marketing Group"
|
|
If you want to verify that the correct members will be removed before committing changes, use the WhatIf parameter.
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Get-User -Filter { Department -Eq "Sales" -And -RecipientType -Eq "UserMailbox" } | Get-Mailbox | Remove-RoleGroupMember "Sales and Marketing Group" -WhatIf
|

EXAMPLE 3
This example removes the Training Assistants USG from the Training 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 |
|
|---|---|
Remove-RoleGroupMember "Training Administrators" -Member "Training Assistants" -BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck |

Detailed Description
When you remove a member from a role group, that member can no longer manage the features made available by the role group if the role group is the only means by which the member is granted access to the feature.
If the ManagedBy property has been populated with role group managers, the user removing a role group member 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.
If the role group is a linked role group, you can't use the Remove-RoleGroupMember cmdlet to remove members from the role group. Instead, you need to remove members from the foreign universal security group (USG) linked to the linked role group. To find the foreign USG linked to a role group, use the Get-RoleGroup cmdlet.
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.
