I'm using Self Service for software installs via AD Group policy. I
have an OU called Casper Policies. I have a Security Group in this OU
called Adobe Master Collection. I can add individual AD Users to the
Adobe Master Collection Security Group and create a Casper Policy that
installs Adobe Master Collection for those users only. All of this
works flawlessly and as expected.
In Active Directory we have a Security Group called Studio Artists.
I'd like to add that Security Group to the Adobe Master Collection
Security Group within my Casper Policy OU. I have found that while I
can do this it does not work as expected. When I set this up the AD
Users in the Studio Art Security Group do not get access to the Adobe
Master Collection install via Self Service. Again, I can add a single
Studio Art AD member and it works fine. ADUC allows me to add a
Security Group, but Self Service does not seem to recognize the
members of these groups.
The reason I'd like to do this is so that I can use existing groups to
manage who has access to a particular set of software via Self Service.
I admit I am not and AD expert by any means. I hope my explanation is
clear. Should this work? Am I doing something wrong? Any advice is
appreciated. Thanks.
