| 504037 | 2006-12-03 23:52:00 | Hello, I need a little help with my project. Does anyone know how I can allow a group the right to create users? I only want to give them this right rather than Supervisor where they can do anything. Also, how can I allow another group the right to update user details? I can add rights to change things such as fax and phone numbers, but is there an easier way to allow the group the right to update any details of a current user? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

I'm not sure of the structure anymore, but would presume that you need to give a nominated group rights on the OU. Microsft has delegation, does NW have similar? |

| 504040 | 2006-12-04 06:35:00 | Primarily I'm in agreement with Graham but in a large organization I could see the benefits in a system admin delegating responsibilities to OU a supervisor. Ive never used console one (don't like it) but in Nwadmin these rights are referred to as property rights. As to applying them to group, (this where I agree with Graham) I can see security issues especially if a non group member is made security equivalent to a group member therefore inheriting all rights pertaining to that group member. |

| 504041 | 2006-12-05 08:48:00 | Hello, thanks for your input. What I managed to do was simply give a group the Create right which enabled them to create users in an OU. It did, however, allow them to create anything in that OU but I still got top marks for my project so it's all good. The other group I gave the Write right which enabled them to change user details. Just incase anyone really wanted to know.... |
