Adaxes / AD permissions

Question

Reeeeeealy simple and dumb question, but my manager asked and I can't see this specifically written anywhere, but ...

Using Adaxes to restrict a user's access to read other users Active Directory info won't stop that user from accessing Active Directory using another source, for example https://www.sysoptools.com/ad-query/ - right?

I mean, locking down permissions using Adaxes will only apply to users and groups when accessing AD through the Adaxes interface, am I correct?

Sorry for the bonehead question but I'd like something printed out to slide under my manager's nose.

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, you are right, the permissions granted by Adaxes Security Roles are effective only when using Adaxes and do not take effect when using any other tools. For example, this is mentioned in the beginning of the following tutorial: https://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_Delega ... eUsers.htm.
