Delegation of Organizational Unit administration

The following table lists a sample set of permission entries for a scenario of delegating administration of Organizational Units:

Deny Write Employee ID

This set of permission entries has several important characteristics:

  • It allows access to the Domain and the Organizational Unit object classes. This is because without access to the domain and the Organizational Units a delegated administrator cannot see the users beneath. This access should always include the List and Read All Properties permissions.
  • It gives a delegated administrator the ability to create and delete user objects. This permission applies to the Organizational Unit object class.
  • It gives a delegated administrator the ability to see (List) users and modify any property except Employee ID.

Delegation of group administration

The following table lists a sample set of permission entries for a scenario of delegating administration of groups:

This set of permission entries has several important characteristics:

  • It allows access to the Domain and the Organizational Unit object classes. This is because without access to the domain and the Organizational Units a delegated administrator cannot see the groups and users beneath. This access should always include the List and Read All Properties permissions.
  • It gives a delegated administrator the ability to create and delete group objects. This permission applies to the Organizational Unit object class.
  • It gives a delegated administrator the ability to see (List) groups, view any property of a group (Read All Properties), and add or remove members from a group (Write Members).
  • It gives a delegated administrator the ability to see (List) users and view any property of a user (Read All Properties). This is necessary for a delegated administrator to be able to add users to a group.

Delegation in a functional vs. hosted environment

For your delegation model to work correctly, you need to determine whether you have a functional or hosted environment.

Delegation in a functional environment

In a functional environment there is a separate group of administrators for each function. So there may be a group for managing users, a helpdesk, domain administrators, and Exchange administrators. In case of a functional environment, you need to decide on a certain role for each function. These roles usually cross Organizational Unit boundaries so delegation is typically done at the root of the domain or domains. Typically a delegation model for this scenario would look something like the following:

Domain / Read All Objects
  • All Objects - List
  • All Objects - Read All Properties
  • Domain - Write LDAP Server Property (permission to change Operational Domain Controller)
