The following section outlines the steps to enable permissions to create and delete computer objects, permissions on these objects, and permissions to change and reset user credentials. These permissions are the minimum level of permissions required for a service account when installing the Connector. Organisational Unit [OU] Permissions Dialog Permissions are being
assigned to the service account through the OU permissions dialog. The following section outlines how to add permissions to create and delete computer objects
through the OU permissions dialog: The following section outlines how to select permissions on the computer objects through the OU permissions
dialog: Hi all, Im sure this is a simple one, but its vexxing me now! We have some network shares that only a certain select few want access to which would normally be a simple, remove inherit permissions and setup them locally on the folder and let that propagate throught that folder tree ( and yes it works ). However they now want this spread across multiple folders, not following any directory tree so i cant just let the
permissions inherit from the upper layers. So my question, can you create a "security group" within AD, add the users to that group, apply that group to the folders, rather than add an ever increasing number of users to many different files for access and for that to work? Thanks in advance check Best Answer Indeed you can do exactly that. Open AD Users and Computers, create a new Security group, open it up and add in the users you want to have access to the folder. Then in the security rights on the folder and/or the share, do exactly as you would to add in a user, only instead of the username put in the groupname (you will see at the top of the security rights box when you are typing in the user/group name it will say "Users or Groups"). I have noticed that SOMETIMES (not very often), it may take a few minutes before it will take effect, I think usually if that person has attempted to access the folder recently and the client/server have the old rights cached. 1 found this helpful thumb_up thumb_down View Best Answer in replies below Read these next...
