Adaxes Powershell - Proxy permissions using -AdaxesService

Question

I am trying to proxy through the AdaxesService but running as a non elevated user. I need to understand what permissions are needed to run Adaxes cmdlets with the parameter -AdaxesService?

If I run the following cmdlet as the Adaxes service admin, of course it works. Is there a predefined role that the user running the cmdlet needs to be in?

New-AdmComputer -name "ServerName" -Path "OU location" -Description "Test computer create via Adaxes proxy service" -Enabled $false -AdaxesService localhost

Thank you for any assistance.

Hello,

When you specify the -AdaxesService parameter, Adaxes service acts as a proxy between the cmdlet and Active Directory. This means that the Security Roles that you've configured in Adaxes need to grant users sufficient permissions to perform the actions that the cmdlets perform. In your example command, you run the New-AdmComputer cmdlet to create a new computer under OU location. This means that the user running the command needs sufficient permissions to create computer objects under OU location.
