Delegated administration is a feature in Microsoft Exchange Server that allows an administrator to delegate control of certain aspects of Exchange to other users. This can be useful in cases where the administrator needs to delegate tasks to other users, or when the administrator needs to give another user access to Exchange without giving them full control over the server. Delegated administration supports three features: mailbox management, address lists, and public folders.
Mailbox management allows an administrator to delegate control over user mailboxes. This includes tasks such as creating and managing mailboxes, setting mailbox quotas, and managing mailbox permissions.
Address lists allow an administrator to delegate control over address lists. This includes tasks such as creating and managing address lists, and adding and removing users from address lists.
Public folders allow an administrator to delegate control over public folders. This includes tasks such as creating and managing public folders, and adding and removing users from public folders.
