Problems with cmdlets within the Exchange 2013 powershell

Question

Hi,
i've following problem: I can't access all possible powershell cmdlets within the exchange powershell. For example following cmdlet is missing: "Get-Queue". Also we have trouble with some other cmdlets: Get-Mailbox only lists one of 30 mailboxes
and if we want to modify a mailbox identified by the logonname an error shows up that the user can't be found. Only the one listed user can be modified.
What can I do to solve this problem?

Hi Achim,
You need to be assigned appropriate permissions or roles before you can run all cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. For example
to run Get-Queue cmdlet - your user account must be assigned the "Organization Management" or at least "Server Management" role.
You can try this to view roles assigned to your account:
Get-ManagementRoleAssignment -RoleAssignee 'yourUserAcc' -Role "organization*" | fl role
Get-ManagementRoleAssignment -RoleAssignee 'yourUserAcc' -Role "*transport*" | fl role
Otherwise you can view and change role assignments with EAC:
In the EAC, navigate to Permissions > Admin Roles.
Select the role group you want to view the members of.
In the role group details pane, view the members in the role group details pane.
