How to configure the scope of a “User Enforcement Rule” to send emails to ‘test’ users only. (4280425)

It is sometimes desirable when configuring “User Enforcement Rule” emails to send them to test users rather than all users scoped to the rule.

1. Navigate to PMAdmin | Home | <Management Policy> | User Scope

Take note of the names of the Groups and Organizational Units allowed access to the self service site.

If there are Organizational Units scoped to the management policy then this process will NOT work.

2. If groups only are scoped then continue.

• In ADUC create a test group which is not a direct or nested member of a Group specified in the management policy.

Add a user to the test group. Ensure that the user is not a direct or nested member of a Group specified in the management policy.

• Navigate to PMAdmin | Home | <Management Policy> | User Enforcement Rules |
• Open the rule which contains the email being tested.
• Under the “Configure the rule’s scope” heading click on the “Configure” button.
• When prompted to configure the rule’s scope highlight on “The following users:” radio button.
• Add the test group to the scope.
• Under the “Users excluded from the rule’s scope” heading click on the “Add” button.
• When prompted to configure the rule’s scope highlight on “The following users:” radio button.
• Add the groups specified in the management policy to the scope and save.

Only uses scoped to the test group will now receive Enforcement Rule Notification emails.

Once testing is complete reverse the changes above in order to ensure all scoped users receive the appropriate notifications.
