Permissions Granted for Cisco Unity for Exchange

The permissions that the Permissions wizard grants for Cisco Unity for Exchange are determined by the options you choose when you run the Permissions wizard. Note the following:

Unless otherwise specified, all of the permissions listed in this section are always granted.
In all tables, R = Read permission and W = Write permission.

How Permissions Wizard Options Affect Which Permissions Are Granted for Exchange

The permissions granted by the Permissions wizard for Exchange depend on the options you choose when you run the wizard. The following table summarizes the correlation between options and permissions granted.

Table 1: How Permissions Wizard Options Affect Which Permissions Are Granted for Exchange

Installation Account

The Permissions wizard grants the installation account the permissions listed in this section.

Note: If you are concerned about the installation account being available after the Cisco Unity installation is complete, you can disable the account in Active Directory Users and Computers. We recommend that you not delete it because when you upgrade to a later version of Cisco Unity you will again need an installation account with the same permissions. If you delete the current account, you will have to create another, re-run the Cisco Unity Permissions wizard to set the required permissions, and re-delegate Exchange Administrator control.

Installation Account: Group Membership

The installation account is added to the Administrators group.

Installation Account: User Privileges

The installation account is granted the following user privileges:

Log on as a service
Act as part of the operating system
Log on as a batch job

Installation Account: Active Directory Permissions

Installation Account: Group Container

On the Choose Active Directory Containers for New Users and Groups page, you choose the container in which you want the installation account to create default groups (default Cisco Unity public distribution lists). To enable the installation account to create default groups, the Permissions wizard grants the installation account the following permissions on the container you specify:

Create Objects (group objects)
List Contents (group objects)

In addition, the Permissions wizard grants the permissions listed in Table 2.

Table 2: Permissions Granted to the Installation Account in the Group Container Applied onto Group Objects

Installation Account: Location Container (ciscoEcsbuUMLocation)

On the Where Should Cisco Unity Create ciscoEcsbuUMLocationObjects page, you choose the container where you want Cisco Unity location objects to be created. The Permission wizard grants the installation account the following permissions on the specified container:

Create ciscoEcsbuUMLocation Objects
Full Control (ciscoEcsbuUMLocation objects)

Note: Regardless of which container you select, the Permissions wizard automatically creates:

An OU named Unity at the top level of the Active Directory domain that contains the Cisco Unity server.
An OU named Locations below the Unity OU.

If you choose a different location for location objects, the Unity and Locations OUs are not deleted, but no permissions are granted on them, either.

The Permissions wizard creates Unity and Locations OUs only once in a domain. If you rerun the Permissions wizard, either on the same server or on another server (for example, because you are adding another Cisco Unity server to the same domain), the Permissions wizard does not create additional OUs. If you delete the OUs, next time you rerun the Permissions wizard, the wizard recreates them.

Installation Account: Microsoft Exchange Containers

The Permissions wizard does not grant permissions on Microsoft Exchange containers, but Cisco Unity requires the permissions that are granted when you delegate Exchange Administrator control to the Cisco Unity installation account. For more information, refer to the Microsoft website.

Installation Account: User Container (Users)

On the Choose Active Directory Container for New Users and Groups page, you choose a container for new users. If the container you choose has subcontainers, then users can be created in the subcontainers, too.

The Permissions wizard grants the installation account the following permissions on the specified container and its subcontainers:

Create Objects (user objects)
List Contents (user objects)
Change Password (user objects)
Reset Password (user objects)

The Permissions wizard also grants the permissions listed in Table 3.

Message Store Services Account

After Cisco Unity is installed, the message store services account is the account that Cisco Unity uses to access Exchange. The Permissions wizard grants the message store services account the permissions listed in this section.

Note: The message store services account cannot be disabled or deleted, or Cisco Unity will not function.

Message Store Services Account: Group Membership

The message store services account is added to the Administrators group.

Message Store Services Account: User Privileges

The message store services account is granted the following user privileges:

Log on as a service
Act as part of the operating system
Log on as a batch job

Message Store Services Account: Exchange Permissions

The Permissions wizard grants the following permissions to the message store services account on each mailbox store (msExchPrivateMDB) object that you specify on the Choose Mailstores page:

Administer Information Store, which enables the message store services account to change the information with the Exchange message store.
List Objects
Read All Properties
Receive-As, which enables the message store services account to log on to subscribers' mailboxes and play messages.
Send-As, which enables the message store services account to send messages on behalf of Cisco Unity subscribers.
View Information Store Status, which ensures that the message store services account does not exceed the maximum number of MAPI sessions that can be open at one time. The permission is only required for Exchange 2003 with Service Pack 1 and later, but the Permissions wizard grants it both for Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2000.

The Permissions wizard also grants Send-As permissions to the message store services account applied onto:

User and contact objects on the container you specify for users on the Choose Active Directory Containers for New Users and Groups page. This permission addresses the issues described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 327174, Full Mailbox Access Permission Grants the Send As Permission, or the Send-As Permission Is Denied.
The containers you specify on the Choose Active Directory Containers for Import page.
The parent storage groups of all mailbox stores that that you specify on the Choose Mailstores page.

AdminSDHolder System Object

When you run the Permissions wizard to grant permissions, if you check the Allow Active Directory Administrator and Operator Accounts to Have Voice Mail check box (on the Choose Whether AD Admin Accounts Can Have Voice Mail page), Cisco Unity:

Adds List Contents (This Object Only) permission to the ntSecurityDescriptor attribute on the AdminSDHolder object in every domain Cisco Unity creates users in or imports users from.
Grants the applicable permissions listed in Table 8, depending on whether you check the Allow Cisco Unity to Administer Active Directory check box on the Choose Whether Cisco Unity Can Administer Active Directory page. These permissions allow the directory services account to update attributes for members of administrative groups.

If you do not check the check box, the Permissions wizard does not change permissions on the AdminSDHolder object and does not grant the permissions listed in Table 8.

Caution! If you check the Allow Active Directory Administrator and Operator Accounts to Have Voice Mail (Not Recommended) check box and if Cisco Unity service accounts are compromised, then security in the entire forest is compromised.

The changes are required to resolve issues noted in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 232199, Description and Update of the Active Directory AdminSDHolder Object, available on the Microsoft website. This issue is also addressed in the Cisco document Overcoming Protected Groups Permissions Problems with the Cisco Unity Permissions Wizard, http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_tech_note09186a00801c3224.shtml.

COM Security

If the Cisco Unity server is running Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 or later, DCOM security improvements prevent the Cisco Unity Media Master control from functioning except on the Cisco Unity server. If you do not grant some DCOM rights (and reverse some of the SP 1 security improvements):

Cisco Unity subscribers cannot use the Media Master to make or play recordings in ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook, in the Cisco Unity Inbox, or in the Cisco Unity Assistant.
When administrators log into the Cisco Unity Administrator from another computer, they cannot use the Media Master.

In the Permissions wizard, on the Choose Whether to Grant DCOM Rights page, if you check the Grant DCOM Rights and Enable the Media Master Control check box, the Permissions wizard makes the following changes on the COM Security tab in the My Computer Properties dialog box in the Component Services MMC:

For Access Permissions, the Permissions wizard changes the default permission for Anonymous Logon to allow Remote Access.
For Launch and Activation Permissions, the Permissions wizard:

Changes the limits for Anonymous Logon to allow Remote Activation.
Changes the default for Anonymous Logon to allow Remote Activation.
Changes the limits for Network Service to allow Local Activation.

Attributes in the ciscoEcsbuUnityInformation Property Set

In general, permissions for ciscoEcsbu... attributes in Active Directory are granted on the ciscoEcsbuUnityInformation property set, not on the individual attributes. Table 9 lists the attributes that appear in the property set and the type of object to which each attribute applies.

Permissions that are granted to the directory services account on attributes in the Computers container and the Domain Controllers container are granted on individual attributes. For more information, see Directory Services Account: Computers Container and Domain Controllers Container.
