In Exchange Online, permissions are delegated on role based access control (RBAC) model. The RBAC model of Exchange online has two roles—administrator and end user. Monitoring the permissions assigned to these roles and ensuring that no inappropriate changes are made to the permissions assigned to the users is vital.
