Configuration of Group Publishing

Content: 

Overview

Users that have permissions to My Organization > My Memberships web query can use this query to see their membership in Active Directory groups and add themselves to published groups. They can either see all the Active Directory groups which they are members of or only those groups that are published for discovery. Group can be published for self-service requests and discovery using the Membership Approval web command on the group itself. 

Configuration of My Memberships web query

My Memberships web query displays a list of Active Directory groups that a Web Portal user is a member of.

You can configure Cayosoft Administrator to display all Active Directory groups that a user is a member of or only published groups. To configure this behavior, open Cayosoft Administrator Console, navigate to My Memberships web query and specify Show groups setting.

For more information about My Memberships web query settings, please see My Memberships web query article.

Publishing Active Directory group 

An Active Directory group can be published for discovery and self-service. Publishing an Active Directory group allows people to join and leave this group in Cayosoft Self-Service. Please read the Membership Approval section in Working with groups article for details.
