# Create-Delete Users function Set-AdAclCreateDeleteUser { <# .SYNOPSIS Delegates permissions to a group for creating and deleting User objects in an OU. .DESCRIPTION The Set-AdAclCreateDeleteUser function delegates the necessary Active Directory permissions to allow a specified group to create and delete user objects within a specified container or organizational unit (OU). The function adds two Access Control Entries (ACEs) to the specified OU: 1. An ACE granting GenericAll rights to user objects, which enables full control over user objects 2. An ACE granting CreateChild and DeleteChild rights specifically for user objects These permissions allow the delegated group to create new user accounts, delete existing user accounts, and manage all properties of user accounts within the specified OU. 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. .PARAMETER LDAPpath Distinguished Name of the object (or container) where the permissions are going to be configured. This is typically an Organizational Unit. .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-AdAclCreateDeleteUser -Group "SG_SiteAdmins_XXXX" -LDAPPath "OU=Users,OU=XXXX,OU=Sites,DC=EguibarIT,DC=local" Delegates the permissions for the group "SG_SiteAdmins_XXXX" to create and delete user objects in the specified OU. .EXAMPLE Set-AdAclCreateDeleteUser -Group "SG_SiteAdmins_XXXX" -LDAPPath "OU=Users,OU=XXXX,OU=Sites,DC=EguibarIT,DC=local" -RemoveRule Removes the permissions for the group "SG_SiteAdmins_XXXX" to create and delete user objects in the specified OU. .EXAMPLE $Splat = @{ Group = "SG_SiteAdmins_XXXX" LDAPPath = "OU=Users,OU=XXXX,OU=Sites,DC=EguibarIT,DC=local" Force = $true } Set-AdAclCreateDeleteUser @Splat Delegates the permissions without prompting for confirmation. .INPUTS System.String for Group and LDAPpath parameters. .OUTPUTS System.Void .NOTES Used Functions: Name ║ Module/Namespace ═══════════════════════════════════════════╬══════════════════════════════ Set-AclConstructor5 ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS Get-AttributeSchemaHashTable ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS Get-AdObjectType ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS Write-Verbose ║ Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility Test-IsValidDN ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS .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 User Management, Delegation of Control #> [CmdletBinding( SupportsShouldProcess = $true, ConfirmImpact = 'Medium' )] [OutputType([void])] param ( # PARAM1 STRING for the Delegated Group Name [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, HelpMessage = 'Identity of the group getting the delegation.', Position = 0)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Alias('IdentityReference', 'Identity', 'Trustee', 'GroupID')] $Group, #PARAM2 Distinguished Name of the OU were the groups can be changed [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, HelpMessage = 'Distinguished Name of the object (or container) where the permissions are going to be configured.', Position = 1)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateScript({ Test-IsValidDN -ObjectDN $_ }, ErrorMessage = 'DistinguishedName provided is not valid!
