Active Directory Permissions

Active Directory permissions are managed through ADUC, a snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console/Active Directory Server Manager used to manage AD users, groups and organizational units. To edit an object’s permissions through Active Directory Users and Computers, all you have to do is:

  1. Select the object whose permissions you want to edit

  2. Right-click on it and open its Properties

  3. Switch to the Security tab

  4. Choose the permissions you want to assign for different groups and users

Note: Take care to always follow best practices for AD permissions, or your access landscape will quickly descend into chaos. You should manage AD permissions through groups only, set as few explicit permissions as possible.

How to View Active Directory Permissions

You can follow the same steps in Active Directory Users and Computers to see which permissions a user or object currently holds. Simply select the object you want to examine, right-click on it, click on Properties and then switch to the Security tab. Here you can see the permission levels held by different Active Directory users and groups.

Types of Active Directory Permissions

In Active Directory, there are three basic permission types:

Read: Allows viewing files and their properties

  • Write: Allows editing and deleting files

  • Full Control: Allows viewing, editing and deleting files as well as modifying settings

You should never assign AD permissions directly to a user. Managing individual permissions for every account creates a huge mess where admins quickly lose track of privileges they have granted to various people. Instead, group users together based on their role and provide that group with the access rights its members need.

Create AD Domain

After the primary AD domain controller is configured, you must create AD domain users and groups on the AD domain controller. An administrator can centrally manage domain users and groups and allocate them to different users.

  • A user can log in to a client host in the AD domain as a domain user and is authenticated by the primary AD domain controller.
  • This section uses Windows Server 2008 R2 as an example to explain how to create AD domain users and groups on the AD domain controller.
  1. Log in to the Windows AD domain server. Choose Start > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.

The Active Directory Users and Computers page is displayed.

    1. In the Active Directory Users and Computers dialog box, right-click Users.
    2. Choose New > User.

    3. Enter the domain user information.

      The user information includes First name, Last name, Initials, and User logon name. User logon name is used for AD domain login and authentication.

    4. Click Next after the user information is configured.

    5. Enter and confirm the user password. Deselect User must change password at next logon. Click Next.

    6. Click Finish after you confirm the user information. Return to the Active Directory Users and Computers dialog box. Create a user.
    1. In the Active Directory Users and Computers dialog box, right-click Users.
    2. Choose New > Group.

    3. Enter Group name.
    4. Set Group scope to Global.
    5. Set Group type to Security.
    6. Click OK.

      Return to the Active Directory Users and Computers dialog box. Create a group.

  3. Add a user to a group.
    1. In the Active Directory Users and Computers dialog box, right-click a user to add to a group.
    2. Select Add to a group.

    3. In the Enter the object name to select text box, enter the name of the group to which the user is added.
    4. Click OK. A message is displayed, indicating that the operation succeeded.
    5. Click OK.

Notepad++ Now lets you pin your tabs

Notepad++ version 8.7.2 has just been released. One important new feature is the Pin Tab feature option, which works a lot like pinned tabs in most web browsers.

The Pin Tab feature brings tabs to the farthest left, where they are easily accessible. It does not make the tab any smaller to stand out and doesn’t stop you from accidentally closing it. The feature only adds a pin icon to the tab to differentiate it from other tabs and changes the position. This feature is turned on by default, but users can turn it off in the Preferences menu.

Notepad++ Pinned Tab close up

The close and pin buttons on inactive unpinned tabs are hidden, and pinned tabs only show the pin button. Inactive tabs darken when users hover over them with their mouse, showing the pin and the close tab button to give some visual feedback to the user.

This is a step in the right direction, but it is not as good as a pinned tab in Google Chrome. For example, pinned tabs in Chrome get smaller, so users can see the difference between pinned tabs and unpinned tabs. Notepad++ does not, so a tab with a big title stands out anyway. The major difference between pinned and unpinned tabs is that users keep pins on the left and unpinned on the right. So pinning tabs just feels like a faster way to move tabs to the left.

The update also fixes some problems that users have reported, including a bug that prevented people from using the Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut to copy text from search results. Additionally, a new feature lets users minimize the application or close it to the system tray, giving users better control over how they manage the application’s window.

You can download Notepad++ from the official website for x86 (both 32-bit and 64-bit) and ARM Windows PCs. The update should be a notification for all existing users within the next few days.
