Automatically set permissions

If you go into Active Directory Users and Computers, in the properties of that user account and select Exchange Advanced/Mailbox Rights, you will see accounts with permissions to that user's mailbox.

The greyed out checkboxes are permissions that were inherited from above.
Enterprise Vault does not sync those permissions.
The white check boxes that are NOT greyed out are explicitly set perms on that user's mailbox.

Those are the perms that Enteprise Vault Auto Syncs to the Archive Permissions tab.

Usually, most mailboxes just have SELF explicitly set, so only the user account appears in the Perms tab of the Archive.

In the case of the user with multiple accounts listed in the Archive Perms tab, check to see if those accounts listed have been issued Explicitly Set Perms in Mailbox Rights for that user.

The only permissions that were explicitly set are for the user and self. Everything else is inherited however, I see those permissions in the user's vault archive.

Any other ideas?

It's off.

For some weird reason, this has happened to only 1 user so far.

I guess I'll have to set IncludeInheritedRights to 0 then since I don't want inherited permissions.

You will not need to set the registry key if it is set to off. I just wanted you to check to see if it was there, as it could have overridden the policy setting.

I would recommend you zap the permissions and then re-synch.

There is info on this in the admin help under the Policy Manager section.

To zap use evpm script like this one:


DirectoryComputerName = Vaultserverthathostsdirectoryservice
Sitename = sitenamefromadminconsole


DistinguishedName = /o=organization/ou=mailboxou/cn=Recipients/cn=mailboxcname


ArchiveName = archiveid of affected user. This is availible on the property page of the archive
Zap = true

I'll give this a try. Thank you!

Just to updatethe content on this one, the IncludeInheritedRights had been moved out of registry and into the VAC under the Archiving General Settings with the setting Inherited Permissions. When it's on the vault will inherit the permisions from Exchange and when it's off they won't.

The other setting of relevence is Synchronize Folder Permissions which controls if the delegated rights set within Outlook are also synchronised, normally set to off but beware if you do set this, you might find that lots of users have set up delegated rights in the past and forgotten about them, which could mean some users suddenly gain access to vaults they wouldn't expect to. Obviously this depends upon your environment but I'd say use this one with care.
