Delegation Mode

OU based delegation

One of the main new feature of DynamicGroup 2020 is the delegation mode (link). Management of dynamic groups can be shared with distributed helpdesks or local IT coordinators.  They can now maintain dynamic groups in their OU.

By activating it, users will only see the OUs they are in charge of.
It is also possible to let user see the Setting and the Configuration tab or not.

Even without to activate the delegation mode, users will only have the same rights in DynamicGroup as in the Active Directory User Console.

 

Activate delegation mode

Assign Admin Administration tasks to local helpdesk

With DynamicGroup 2020, a part of the admin administrative work can be shared to simplify the administration management of the admin. For example, you can assign tasks based on sites or department to one or many users.

Helpdesk US: in charge of US, will only see US OUs.

Helpdesk GERMANY: in charge of DE, will only see DE OUs.

Each local helpdesk can only see OUs it is in charge of.

Increased security thanks to delegation

Increase your security, by limiting access to Active Directory. Users will only have access to the OUs they are in charge of and will not be able make changes in other OUs.
This is especially important if local admins are allowed to maintain AD groups, but can not use dynamic groups like the headquarter IT.

Windows Server 2019 compatibility

DynamicGroup 2020 is ready for your latest Windows Server version. We made sure, DynamicGroup will run without any issues on Windows Server 2019. System requirements changed to Windows Server 2012 to 2019 / Windows 10.

Change Group Name

With DynamicGroup 2020, you can also change the name(s) of a group. You can edit both names, like in the creation dialog (samAccountName and cn). This was added to prevent disparities between the samAccountName and cn.

System Requirements

Bugfixes

FirstWare DynamicGroup 2020 fixes minor bugs from the previous version.
