Adding Active Directory groups to the IT Shop

When you assign a group to an IT Shop shelf, it can be requested by the shop customers. To ensure it can be requested, further prerequisites need to be guaranteed:

  • The group must be labeled with the IT Shop option.

  • The group must be assigned a service item.

    TIP: In the Web Portal, all products that can be requested are grouped together by service category. To make the group easier to find in the Web Portal, assign a service category to the service item.

  • If you only want the group to be assigned to employees through IT Shop requests, the group must also be labeled with the Use only in IT Shop option. Direct assignment to hierarchical roles or user accounts is no longer permitted.
