SnapManager for Exchange Service identity account requirements

The SnapManager for Exchange Service identity account must have proper Exchange permissions for SnapManager to function. SnapManager utilizes a Windows NT Service (SnapManagerService) that hosts a number of services such as SME Service, FSR Service, and SME Business Continuance Service.

There are three predetermined permission levels for Exchange:

Exchange View Only
Exchange Administrator
Exchange Full Administrator

The minimum level required for SnapManager is Exchange Administrator.

Use one of these methods to meet the requirement:

Assign Exchange Administrator permissions to the organization object.
Create an Exchange administrative group and assign the correct permissions to that group.
In Exchange Server 2003, right-clicking an object in the Exchange System Manager and selecting Delegate Control opens the Exchange Administration Delegation wizard, which enables you to change that object’s permissions.

In Exchange Server 2007, select Organization node in the Exchange Management Console and then click Add Exchange Administrator wizard in the Actions pane to change the object’s permissions.

Exchange Server 2010 uses the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions model. You can add users or members to a role group through the Exchange Management Console. From the Toolbox of the Exchange Management Console, open the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) User Editor and add users to management role groups.
