Topology Builder and Skype for Business Server Control Panel both implement subsets of these cmdlets to support the management of Skype for Business Server. The Skype for Business Server Management Shell includes cmdlets for all Skype for Business Server administration tasks, and you can use the cmdlets individually to manage your deployment. Skype for Business Server Logging ToolThe Skype for Business Server Logging Tool facilitates troubleshooting by capturing logging and tracing information from the product while the product is running. You can use the tool to run debug sessions on any Skype for Business Server role. Role-based access controlIn Skype for Business Server 2015, administrative tasks are delegated to users by using the role-based access control (RBAC) feature. When you install Skype for Business Server, a number of RBAC roles are created for you. These roles correspond to universal security groups in Active Directory—for example, the RBAC role, CsHelpDesk, corresponds to the CsHelpDesk group found in the Users container in Active Directory. In addition, each RBAC role is associated with a set of Skype for Business Server Windows PowerShell cmdlets; these cmdlets represent the tasks that can be carried out by users who have been assigned the given RBAC role. For example, the CsHelpDesk role has been assigned the Lock-CsClientPin and UnlockCsClientPin cmdlets; that means that users who have been assigned the CsHelpDesk role can lock and unlock user PIN numbers. However, the CsHelpDesk role has not been assigned the New-CsVoicePolicy cmdlet; that means that users who have been assigned the CsHelpDesk role cannot create new voice policies. ................
