NOTE:

Once an Access Template is applied (linked) within Active Roles to determine permission settings in the directory, the Access Template cannot be deleted. You can view the links in which the Access Template participates: Right-click the Access Template, and click Links. If you need to delete the Access Template, first remove all items from the Links list. For instructions, see Steps for managing Access Template links.
-
An Access Template cannot be deleted if it is nested into another Access Template. You can view the Access Templates into which the selected Access Template is nested: On the Nesting tab, click Nested In. Double-click an item in the Nested In list to open a dialog where you can remove the Access Template from nesting. For instructions, see Steps for managing nested Access Templates.
-
Active Roles includes a suite of predefined Access Templates and a number of built-in Access Templates. Neither predefined Access Templates nor built-in Access Templates can be deleted.
This section discusses scenarios to help you understand and use the role-based administration features available in Active Roles. The following scenarios are covered:
This scenario shows how to use an Access Template that allows a helpdesk service to perform day-to-day operations on user accounts, such as resetting passwords, viewing user properties, locking and unlocking user accounts.
The scenario also involves a group to hold helpdesk operators. The Access Template is applied so that the group is designated as a Trustee, thus giving the administrative rights to the helpdesk operators. When both the Access Template and group are prepared, you can implement a helpdesk administration in your organization.
For example, if you need to authorize the helpdesk to manage user accounts in the Sales Organizational Unit, you must perform the following steps:
-
Prepare a Helpdesk Access Template that defines the help desk operator permissions on user accounts.
-
Create and populate a Helpdesk group to hold the helpdesk operators.
-
Apply the Helpdesk Access Template to the Sales Organizational Unit, selecting the Helpdesk group as a Trustee.
As a result of these steps, each member of the Helpdesk group is authorized to perform management tasks on user accounts in the Sales Organizational Unit. The Helpdesk Access Template determines the scope of the tasks.
The following sections elaborate on each of these steps.
