Description
The principle of Least Privilege ordinarily requires analysis to ensure that users and processes are granted only as much privilege as is required to function effectively, but no additional privileges that could enable mischief, either accidental or intentional. The ExAdmin Virtual Directory enables web access to E-mail and public folder documents for the Exchange 2003 System Manager. No users access this part of the application. This control determines whether the ExAdmin user will have read, write, script source access, and/or directory browsing capabilities under this virtual server. ExAdmin requires read, write, script source access, and directory browsing permissions since these are required for all of Exchange Web access.
