GPOADmin 5.17 - User Guide


	NOTE: A user or group can only be directly assigned one root container at a time, however, they may have access to multiple root containers through their group membership.

To assign a container to a user or group

Right-click the container to be the root, and select Properties.

Select the Root Container Assignment tab and assign the users or groups who are going to see this as their Root Container.


	IMPORTANT: The security for the container must be set so the users or group members have the User, Moderator, Administrator, or some specially created role. If the security is not set for the assigned users of the Root Container, they will not be able to see, create, or manage any objects in the container and sub containers.

Restricting GPO management for specific domains

If necessary, you can restrict access to domains to ensure that only specified individuals or groups can view, register, create, and report on items in a domain. You can fine-tune the level of available management based on the level of security.

By default, the Domain Users group is assigned all domain rights to their corresponding domain. To take advantage of the new level of security, you must remove Domain Users and assign rights as appropriate.


	IMPORTANT: These rights refer to domain access and work with the existing GPOADmin delegated user rights that are in place; they do not replace them.

To manage the security on a domain

Expand the Live Environment, right-click the required domain, and select Properties.

Add and remove the user or groups that you want to apply the restrictions to.

Select to allow (or remove previously applied) rights and click Apply.

Table 9. Available rights


Right	Description
Read	A base right that you must apply as it is used with other rights. This right works with, but does not replace, the delegated custom user Read right that controls whether users and groups can see a version control container’s contents.
Register	Apply this right to users and groups that are assigned the Domain Read right to allow them to register/unregister objects from the selected domain. This right works with, but does not replace, the delegated custom user Register and Unregister rights that controls whether a user can register objects into a specific version control container or unregister objects.
Create Group Policy Objects	Apply this right to users and groups that are assigned the Domain Read right to allow them to create Group Policy Objects in the selected domain. This right works with, but does not replace, the delegated custom user Create right that controls whether a user can create an object in a specific version control container. The Edit right on the Version Control container is also required.
Create WMI Filters	Apply this right to users and groups that are assigned the Domain Read right to enable them to create WMI Filters in the selected domain. This right works with, but does not replace, the delegated custom user Create right that controls whether a user can create an object in a specific version control container. The Edit right on the Version Control container is also required.
Create Scripts (Logon/Logoff Startup/Shutdown)	Apply this right to users and groups that are assigned the Domain Read right to enable them to create a script in the selected domain.

The Edit right on the Version Control container is also required.
Create Desired State Configuration Scripts	Apply this right to users and groups that are assigned the Domain Read right to enable them to create Desired State Configuration scripts in the selected domain.

Report	Apply this right to users and groups that are assigned the Domain Read right to enable them to report on objects within the selected domain. Once applied, they will only see the "Live" report option for objects which exist in the associated domain and only the domains for which the user has this right is displayed in the report wizard. This right works with, but does not replace, the delegated custom user Run Reports right that controls whether a user can run the “New Report” wizard, and the Run Contextual Reports right which controls whether a user can run the “Live”, “Working Copy”, “Latest”, and “Difference” from the context menu.
Create Starter GPO	Apply this right to users and groups that are assigned the Domain Read right to allow them to create Starter GPOsin the selected domain.

Configuring role-based delegation

NOTE:

•

The predefined roles cannot be altered.

•

You must perform all role-related tasks in the GPOADmin console.

•

When using the Link right, you must have Link right on the GPO and the SOM.

GPOADmin Administrators can create custom roles that can be applied to specific users to allow them to perform certain functions within the Version Control system. For more information about users with permissions to create roles see Configuring the Version Control server .

When building custom roles, keep in mind the rights must also have the dependent permissions assigned.
