Add Multiple Active Directory Groups to Portal Groups

stevecater1 — Fri, 09 Oct 2015 18:23:40 GMT

Add the functionality to add multiple Active Directory groups to Portal Groups. Currently only one AD group may be added to a Portal group. Unlike ArcGIS Server this makes it very difficult to manage security using Portal groups. In AGS it is possible to add multiple AD groups to a folder directory or service.

As a workaround, this will add users from multiple groups to a PTL group. Run nightly as a scheduled task.

@jill_es thanks, what version was it added at?

@Anonymous User, there's been support for nested enterprise groups for many releases now. It's present in all supported versions of Enterprise (10.7+). Our product documentation goes into more detail regarding this: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/10.7/administer/windows/create-groups.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_5E3FFFAA1B7E443FBB1E483E070B1979. Is this what you were referring to or were you wanting to use separate AD groups to create one group in your Enterprise organization?

Re: Add Multiple Active Directory Groups to Portal Groups

BillFox — Fri, 23 Dec 2022 16:22:03 GMT

No, this should allow multiple Non-Nested AD groups be added to portal groups

@BillFox, thanks for that additional information. We'll keep this in mind moving forward!

We have the same use case as @BillFox, it needs to allow for multiple non-nested AD groups.

We commonly have projects which span multiple parts of the business e.g. environment, engineering and property teams which all need access. They each have an AD group which we would like to be able to add to a Portal group, rather than having to add every user individually. If a user drops out of an AD group or a new user is added to an AD group the Portal group should reflect this and be updated.

There are similar ideas requesting the same functionality:
