Hi @Sethmb,
Great post - many thanks. I'd like to ask whether this approach allows for managing the authorisation aspect as well? i.e. if this method was selected, can user groups be setup on the gallery to map user roles to their AD user groups (for seamless permission assignment/management)? or is managing user groups only supported with Integrated Windows Authentication?
Many Thanks,
Karam
@Karam To answer your question...this only works for authentication, not management of user groups. We know there is currently a challenge to manage roles, sharing and permissions based on AD when using SAML authentication. In 21.4 (coming soon) we've implemented a new API that at least empowers users to automate a sync between AD and Server custom user groups to keep user group management in the hands of your AD admin. Some of our top SAs have also put together some macros to help with the sync'ing process and will make those available to the public free of charge. It may need minor tweaking to fit it into your Server configuration, but then it can just run automatically to keep Server user groups mirroring the AD groups, and it can be hands-off for you after that.
That's great. Thanks for the update @JohnPelletier! It'd definitely help to have an API integration or macros in place to automate the sync process.
Many Thanks,
Karam
Hi,
I have a question. So I am an admin of a workspace and I want to give access to multiple users to prioritize jobs in an AD group. Is this feature possible ?
