Approval for Temporary group membership

Question

Hi,

I want to add approval for specific groups with temporary membership based on this script: https://www.adaxes.com/script-repository/temporary-group-membrship-s533.htm

I worked in past with $Context.SubmitForApproval and have few questions: Where do I place this command? I want to send an email out, then send approval for adding user and updating group to set records for $memberListProperty

Will the full script be executed until $Context.SubmitForApproval and then the rest is on hold?

Hello,

There is no need to use $Context.SubmitForApproval as it will not do what you need in this case. It should be done using a business rule triggering Before adding a member to a group with the corresponding built-in action. The following tutorial will be helpful: https://www.adaxes.com/help/RequestApprovalForAddingMembersToGroups. Also, you need to replace this line in the script

$group = $Context.BindToObjectByDN($dn)

with the below one

$group = $Context.BindToObjectByDNEx($dn, $True)

Thanks for the feedback.

In case we modify the command, so we add multiple users to one group - this would trigger for each member an own email, no?

Would it be possible to have only one approval mail send with all added members?

Yes, that is the only way.

Unfortunately, there is no such possibility.
