AD Manager Technician access issue
Hi Team, I want to bring to your notice that I am facing a weird issue and want to check with you guys that if this is a bug in the build or this is how it is made up. I am Superadmin and I have provided access to one of my Technicians who should be able to create the user in the specific OU and should only see the groups present in the selected OU. OU structure is like "one parent and 4 Child OU" When we are providing access to the Parent OU it also shows up the groups present in the Child OU which
OU Access
OU Access: It is great to see that you can specify which parent OU's the helpdesk have access to. My question is though, can you restrict a sub OU that resides under the parent OU you have granted access to? For example: DOMAIN\ORGANISATION\ADMINS I want to grant access to ORGANISATIONS but restrict access to all accounts under ADMINS. Is this possible? Cheers. Stephen Webb
