What are permissions in Active Directory?

Access to use and make changes in the Active Directory is limited to a specific set of people with privileges that allow them access to them. These access privileges are permissions in the Active Directory granted to users or groups that permit them to interact with objects. Furthermore, there are Standard and Special types of permissions in Active Directory. Standard permission allows users to read, write, and have total control. In addition, special permissions allow the user to modify object permissions or owners, change settings, etc. Check our guide about the best practices for Active Directory to apply now.

How do I set permissions in Active Directory for users?

1. Use the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC)

The above steps will assign the selected privileges to the user and allow access to the selected folder or credentials without requesting permission.

2. Set Permissions for Delegated Authentication

The above steps grant the user account permission to change the passwords of all the user objects in the administrative directory. Read our guide on enabling Active Directory users and computers in Windows 11 if you can’t access it with step 1. SPONSORED
