Reporting delegate access to Exchange mailboxes

The bug means that a user can remove items from a mailbox without copies being retained, even if the mailbox is under the control of a litigation or in-place hold. The good news is that the problem only appears with the Outlook Web App (OWA) client. It is not possible to exploit the retention hole in Outlook or any mobile client, including OWA for Devices.

Obviously, anything that affects compliance is a serious issue. No one wants to be in front of a judge and admit that their email system is incapable of retaining all of the items specified in a discovery action, which is exactly the purpose of the immutability features incorporated into Exchange 2010 and enhanced in Exchange 2013.

The “Sharing folder” process, is based on two elements: the user (or group) that we want to share with them the folder, and the level of permission that we want to enable. For example – by default, users can see only the free/busy time of other recipients.

Exchange Server 2010 and later versions ship with a number of built-in role groups that we can make use of without having to create our own custom RBAC roles. For example, Organization Management is a powerful group that grants almost complete administrative control over an Exchange organization, whereas Help Desk is a more limited role that only allows some recipient management tasks to be performed. Hopefully you’re already making good use of the built-in RBAC roles, or creating your own custom roles, instead of simply granting all of your IT staff Organization Management privileges. Even so, from time to time it is a good idea to review your RBAC role group membership to verify that IT staff have the minimum required access.
