Function Set-AdAclMngPrivilegedAccount { <# .SYNOPSIS Delegates permissions to manage privileged accounts by modifying AdminSDHolder permissions. .DESCRIPTION The Set-AdAclMngPrivilegedAccount function delegates the necessary Active Directory permissions to allow a specified group to manage privileged accounts in the domain. This function works by modifying permissions on the AdminSDHolder object in Active Directory. The AdminSDHolder object is used as a template to overwrite permissions on protected accounts and groups (such as Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, etc.) during the SDProp process that runs periodically. The function adds multiple Access Control Entries (ACEs) to the AdminSDHolder object for: - Managing group membership (adding/removing members) - Resetting passwords - Managing account lockout - Managing the user account control flags - Changing passwords When the -RemoveRule parameter is used, the function removes these permissions instead of granting them. .PARAMETER Group Identity of the group getting the delegation. Can be specified as SamAccountName, DistinguishedName, ObjectGUID, or SID. This should be a group dedicated to privileged user management. .PARAMETER RemoveRule If present, the access rule will be removed instead of being added. .PARAMETER Force If present, the function will not ask for confirmation when performing actions. .EXAMPLE Set-AdAclMngPrivilegedAccount -Group "SL_PUM" Delegates permissions to the group "SL_PUM" to manage privileged accounts by modifying the AdminSDHolder object permissions. .EXAMPLE Set-AdAclMngPrivilegedAccount -Group "SL_PUM" -RemoveRule Removes the previously delegated permissions from group "SL_PUM" for managing privileged accounts. .EXAMPLE Set-AdAclMngPrivilegedAccount -Group "SL_PUM" -Force Delegates permissions to manage privileged accounts without prompting for confirmation. .INPUTS System.String for the Group parameter. .OUTPUTS System.Void .NOTES Used Functions: Name ║ Module/Namespace ═══════════════════════════════════════════╬══════════════════════════════ Set-AclConstructor5 ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS Get-AttributeSchemaHashTable ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS Get-ExtendedRightHashTable ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS Get-AdObjectType ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS Get-FunctionDisplay ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS Write-Verbose ║ Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility .NOTES Version: 2.0 DateModified: 22/May/2025 LastModifiedBy: Vicente Rodriguez Eguibar vicente@eguibar.com Eguibar IT http://www.eguibarit.com .LINK https://github.com/vreguibar/EguibarIT.DelegationPS .COMPONENT Active Directory .ROLE Security .FUNCTIONALITY Privileged Account Management, Delegation of Control #> [CmdletBinding( SupportsShouldProcess = $true, ConfirmImpact = 'Medium' )] [OutputType([void])] Param ( # PARAM1 Delegated Group Name [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, HelpMessage = 'Identity of the group getting the delegation, usually a DomainLocal group.', Position = 0)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Alias('IdentityReference', 'Identity', 'Trustee', 'GroupID')] $Group, # PARAM2 SWITCH If present, the access rule will be removed.
