Adaxes Logic not Logic'ing as I'd expect

Question

I have a custom command that is as follows

If Job Title property Contains "Director" OR
If Job Title property Contains "Assistant"
Add the user to the "CN=yadda/yadda/Directors" Group*

If the user is a member of the "CN=yadda/yadda/Directors" group AND 
the Job Title property Does Not Contain "Director"
Remove the user from the "CN=yadda/yadda/Directors" Group
Else If
If the user is a member of the "CN=yadda/yadda/Directors" group AND 
the Job Title property Does Not Contain "Assistant"
Remove the user from the "CN=yadda/yadda/Directors" Group

Now with that logic if a User with the title "Regional DIrector" is NOT in the group, and run the command, it will add the user to the group no problem.

BUT, If I run the command again on this same user, no changes, it will come back with that it Added the user to the group and the Removed the user from the group. I cannot for the life of me understand what is triggering the remove.

I want a simple logic to add a user to the group if the titles contain key words, keep the user in the group and basically ignore the command if they have the right title and are in the group, but remove the user if the titles do not match. What am I missing?

Hello,

The logic is absolutely correct. It does not work the way you expected because you split the two conditions about the job title property value in the second part. As such, for assistants, the conditions in the first part are met and for directors, those in the Else if block. The best approach in such cases is to use rule-based groups: https://www.adaxes.com/help/AddUsersToGroupsByDepartment/#dynamicgroups. If for some reason that is not an option, you can configure your custom command as follows:

We'll look into the Adaxes rule-based groups, but like having a command we can run against a particular user.

I tried with that logic in the screenshot and works flawlessly! Seeing the logical operation like that, makes a bit more sense why the original wasn't working.

Thank you very much for the quick support!
