Security Group Matching

Uses Active Directory security groups to define a list of authorized users and the scope of authorized machines for which those users can make a request. Security groups require a specific naming convention as follows:

Active Directory security group with Name = ESD_User_<Identifier>—Contains the user objects.
Active Directory security group with Name = ESD_Computer_<Identifier>—Contains the computer objects authorized for the ESD_User_<Identifier> group.

For example:

User A, User B, and User C in security group ESD_User_USA can request on behalf to Computer A, Computer B, and Computer C in ESD_Computer_USA security group.

Security Group and Collection Matching

Uses an Active Directory security group to define a list of authorized users, while matching that to a Configuration Manager collection that defines the scope of authorized machines for which those users can make a request. Security groups require a specific naming convention as follows:

Active Directory security group with Name = ESD_Collection_<CollectionID>—Contains the user objects
Configuration Manager collection with Collection ID = <CollectionID>—Contains the computer objects authorized for the ESD_ Collection_<CollectionID> group.

For example:

User A, User B, and User C in security group ESD_Collection_SMS00001 can request on behalf to Computer A, Computer B, and Computer C in the Collection ID SMS00001 (All Systems).

Note • Evaluating collection membership is only supported for a single deployment technology, the deployment technology specified in the Inventory field on the Common tab of the Site Management > Settings > Deployment view.
