Active Roles 8.2 - Built-in Access Templates Reference Guide

Introduction

This document lists the built-in Access Templates (ATs) installed with Active Roles 8.2.

About built-in Active Roles Access Templates

To help delegating administrative permissions for Active Directory (AD), Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), Exchange, Starling, or other miscellaneous resources in your organization, the Active Roles Console provides a set of built-in Access Templates (ATs).

With ATs, you can simplify the delegation of administrative tasks by assigning low-level permissions to your organizational resources, allowing administrators to manage them in the scope of the assigned ATs as a single unit.

With the built-in ATs of the Active Roles Console, you can:

  • Delegate the most typical administrative roles within your organization. For more information on how to assign ATs, see Applying Access Templates in the Active Roles Administration Guide.

  • Create your own custom ATs by using the built-in ones as a baseline. For more information, see Creating an Access Template in the Active Roles Administration Guide.

Active Directory

The Configuration > Access Templates > Active Directory container of the Active Roles Console contains Access Templates (ATs) for delegating Active Directory (AD) service and data management tasks, for example:

  • User and group management.

  • Computer, printer queue and shared folder object management.

  • Forest and domain configuration management.

This container has two sub-containers:

  • Advanced contains special AD ATs with very granular permissions. For more information, see Active Directory – Advanced ATs.

  • Best Practices for Delegating Active Directory Administration contains ATs for delegating service management to the most typical AD service management roles. For the list of these ATs, see Active Directory – Best Practices ATs.

    • For more information about these best practices, their security sensitivity and impact, see the Microsoft Windows Server documentation.

    • For more information on how to configure these ATs within the Active Roles Console, see the Description of the applicable AT.

    IMPORTANT: Consider the following when configuring Active Directory ATs:

    • To ensure that all appropriate permission entries are added to AD when configuring service management-specific ATs, always select the Propagate permissions to Active Directory option in the Permissions Propagation step of the Delegation of Control Wizard.

      Figure 1: Delegation of Control Wizard – Permissions propagation

      For more information on how to configure ATs for resource objects in your organization with the Active Roles Console, see Applying Access Templates in the Active Roles Administration Guide.

    • Active Roles does not support configuring ATs for the Schema container. To do so, use native Microsoft tools, such as ADSI Edit.

Active Directory – General ATs

To delegate data management tasks for the resources stored in your Active Directory AD environment, use the Access Templates (ATs) in the root of the Configuration > Access Templates > Active Directory container of the Active Roles Console. Such data management tasks include managing users, groups, printers, or computers.
