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 which 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.
Additionally, you can assign self-service policies to users based on their attributes as well.
Steps to assign self-service policies based on user attributes:
- Navigate to Configuration > Self-Service > Policy Configuration.
- Select the advanced button of the respective policy, and navigate to the General tab.
- Click more and select the Add Filter option.
- Choose an attribute, select the condition (Example: Contains, Starts With, etc.), and enter the value against which the condition has to be checked. (Example: Department Contains Marketing).
- Click the + button to add more conditions if required.
- Click OK to save the settings.
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.
