[Casper] self service

[Ernst, Craig S.]

This is correct. You scope the policy to an AD group of users.

I've never tried this, so I'm not sure.  However, If your LDAP is bound to your AD (fairly easy to do if your LDAP is OD), you can create an LDAP group that contains AD users.

I'd also strongly recommend, as a sysadmin axiom, that one never assigns privileges or attributes to a user account.  Using groups keeps the hard-to-track account cruft to a minimum.

In this case, I'd create a "self service testing" group, and put your user in it.  This way, you don't need to remember that johndoe has self service privileges, and if you want to expand the test, you can add users to the group.

 Hi People,



 Now that i have joined Casper to my Active Directory i can get users to login to the Self Service tool with their AD credentials, is there a way to assign a policy to a particular user?



 You can assign policies to Computers, computer groups, buildings or departments, and you can assign self service policies to User groups, but id like to be able to assign a self service policy to a particular user for testing.



 I know i can assign a logon/logoff policy to a user.



 I can also make an LDAP group (i dont have access to create and edit AD groups) and assign that group to a self service policy, but that adds an extra level of credentials.



 Is this possible?
