Add AD User Group to a Subscription on the Alteryx Gallery

Dear Alteryx Gallery Specialists 

 

My goal is to manage our users with active directory (AD) groups. I have enabled "Windows integrated authentication" during the Alteryx Gallery setup and I have found and added the AD group under Permissions without a problem.

 

However, when I try to add the AD group to the subscription Alteryx can find it, however it cannot be added as Artisan to the subscription (see image).

How do I properly add an AD group to a subscription?

Hi @hambi 

 

That's an interesting one. Can you check one thing....I can't imagine this might be it but worth a try. It looks like your expiration date is in the wrong format. I have checked my servers and many others here on the community and they were all in YYYY-MM-DD format. Can you update and see if that was it? I know that the "paid" membership and a future date are needed to be set correctly.

 

Thanks,

Joshua

Hi @joshuaburkhow 

 

Thanks for your fast reply! I have chosen it with this context menu and also when I try to type it by hand it doesn't accept an expiration date in the YYYY-MM-DD format.  Any other idea?

Ok you need to go the other way around. You need to copy the subscription id of that and go to the user profile and replace the studio key id on the bottom with that of the subscription. Make sense?

So: Instead of adding the AD group to the subscription, I should add the subscription to the single user profile (is that correct?).

 

If I understood correctly: The administration on the single user level is exactly what I am trying to avoid by using Active Directory groups. For us it isn't feasible to modify single user profiles (for security and for time reasons) : (

No ideas? : (  

 

Alternative I: Add new users by default to one subscription instead of their own subscription. 

Alternative II: Enable all studios / subscriptions to use one set of workflow credentials.

I've had zero success managing any Gallery functionality via AD groups and it's absolutely maddening. Everything is basically confined to user-level administration.
