Reference group name in custom command

Question

Hello

We need to allow distribution group managers to grant send as permissions for individual members of each group. Is there a way to reference the group name when running a user custom command from a Modify Group web interface item?

Many Thanks

Hello,

Sorry for the confusion, but we are not sure what exactly you need to achieve. Could you, please, clarify what exactly stands for reference the group name when running a user custom command? A live example of the desired behavior will be much appreciated.

So the idea is to run a powershell script to grant a group member send as rights to a distribution group. The way we are planning to achieve this is the create a new item on the self service portal to allow group managers to change this on groups they are managers of and only for members of these groups. The way we can achieve this is by adding a custom command to be run on the user but we are unsure on how we can use the group name in the script.

Add-RecipientPermission -Identity "Is there a variable for the group name if calling the command from a 'modify group' item" -Trustee "%name%" -AccessRights SendAs

Hope this makes sense

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for clarifying. It can be done using the AD Object picker parameter in your custom command. For details on using the parameters, see step 4 of the following tutorial: https://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_ActiveDirectoryManagement_CreateCustomCommand.htm. In this case, the script part will look like the following:

Add-RecipientPermission -Identity "%param-MyParam%" -Trustee "%name%" -AccessRights SendAs
