What are Self-Service Policies?

The self-service policies in ADSelfService Plus govern what self-service features users can avail.   These policies have advanced settings w hich can be configured to apply restrictions on how users use  the self-service features .

Group and OU-based Configuration

It is highly likely that not all users in a domain would require similar self-service permissions and restrictions.  Keeping it in mind, ADSelfService Plus has  an option to configure  OU and group-based self-service policies.  You can apply self-service policies  to a domain or a group or even an OU.​  

For example, you can choose  to give users in the managers OU access to all the features with few restrictions. Other users can have access to only self-password reset and self-account unlock with a strict c ustom  password policy.

Prioritize Self-Service Policies

You can prioritize self-service policies so that if a group or an OU falls under multiple self-service policies, the self-service policy with the highest priority will take effect.

We will see more about the settings available in the Advanced Policy Configuration next week.
