Allow users to only add themselves to distribution group

Question

Hi All,

I was following the following documentation

https://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_DelegatingPermissions_GrantRightsToModifyADGroupMembership.htm

However I cannot work out how to make it so that a user can only add themselves to a distribution group?

I have tried adding the Business rule 'if the initiator isnot the %initiator%' however this stops the user adding themselves.

In an ideal world I want the setup to be the owner of the group can add anyone, but users can only add themselves.

Any help would be great.

Many Thanks

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to grant the permissions the way you need. It is only possible to grant the permissions to modify the Member property of the group, not limit the members that can be added. The approach with a Business Rule triggering Before adding a member to a group is exactly what you need. In the rule, you will need to use two conditions to check whether a user is adding themselves to the group and whether the initiator is the owner of the group. Finally, the Business Rule will look like the following:

Thank you very much that business rule worked perfectly
