Handle Common Active Directory Delegation Challenges the Right Way!

The secret to scaling isn't doing more, it's delegating smarter. AdminDroid has the blueprint to solve your everyday Active Directory delegation challenges.

Delegate AD User Provisioning Tasks Without Full Admin Access

Creating hundreds of users in Active Directory can feel like a never-ending juggling act, especially when HR already has the onboarding list ready. Manually handling it all not only eats up IT time but also delays the entire process.
Take Active Directory user onboarding off your plate and delegate it to HR securely!
With AdminDroid Active Directory delegation, give your HR team the power to create and manage users without the risk of full admin access. Define exactly what actions they can perform and which reports they can access. And here’s the icing on the cake: AdminDroid automates user provisioning tasks such as user creation, manager assignment, and more through a dedicated onboarding workflow. You can even delegate this to your HR team to handle Active Directory user onboarding effortlessly.

Securely Delegate Active Directory Password Reset Permissions

Resetting passwords is one of the most common help desk requests IT admins receive. When all such requests are funneled through a small set of admins, response times can lag. These bottlenecks often lead to confusion and hinder day-to-day operations.
Lift the password reset burden with AdminDroid’s granular Active Directory delegation!
Delegating frequent tasks like password resets, unlock accounts, and more is now effortless with AdminDroid Active Directory delegation. By delegating these routine requests to users with least-privilege access, AdminDroid reduces daily admin workload and frees up time for strategic initiatives.

Granularly Delegate Group Membership Management in Active Directory

Routine events such as role changes, team shifts, and offboarding often burden IT with group membership management tasks. These repetitive tasks take up valuable admin time that could be better spent on sensitive operations or infrastructure planning. However, when it's time to delegate, native methods offer only all-or-nothing access, increasing the risk of over-privileged control.
AdminDroid lets you securely offload group member assignments to your help desk without compromising privileged access.
AdminDroid eliminates these frustrations by allowing you to delegate group membership management to help desk teams with precisely defined permissions. They can modify the membership of assigned groups without being part of privileged security groups, ensuring accurate access control while maintaining strict boundaries.

Delegate Active Directory Domains for Least-Privilege Access

Microsoft warns that Domain Admins group in Active Directory often contain too many accounts. This is mainly due to excessive privileges granted for domain-wide management, increasing the risk of compromises and cyberattacks.
Skip full admin rights to manage users, groups, and computers domain-wide with AdminDroid AD delegation!
With AdminDroid, admins can securely delegate access to Active Directory domain without requiring elevated privileges. In multi-domain environments, domain-scope delegation makes it easy to grant access only to the specific domain a user needs to manage or view.

Hide Critical AD Objects from Unwanted Access Using Delegation

Protecting sensitive Active Directory objects such as executive accounts, admin groups, and service accounts from unauthorized access is crucial. This becomes even more important during delegation. That’s because users handling lower-tier responsibilities should not have access to higher-tier assets defined in the Active Directory Tiering model.
Keep privileged Active Directory objects out of delegated admin's sight with scoped delegation.
With AdminDroid, you can restrict access to Tier 0 objects like the CEO’s account, Domain Admins group, or critical service accounts based on role. This avoids accidental or intentional changes to privileged accounts in Active Directory, ensuring zero exposure and airtight access control.

Assign Delegation Permissions to Non-Admins in Active Directory

Delegating access to admin accounts in Active Directory is straightforward. But when it comes to assigning permissions for regular users, admins are often forced to rely on the Delegation Control Wizard. However, this approach lacks transparency and flexibility, making it difficult to track, audit, or adjust the delegated permissions later.
Grant least-privilege access to any user without adding them to privileged groups, all with AdminDroid.
Delegate access to any user with precise control, enforcing the principle of least privilege at every level. AdminDroid keeps your data safe and unexposed through security-focused, granular delegation.

Easily Delegate Microsoft 365 Tasks in Hybrid Environments

Security best practices recommend keeping privileged Microsoft 365 accounts cloud-only and limiting Active Directory admin accounts to on-premises. Combining these roles increases the attack surface and exposes your environment to greater risk. AdminDroid addresses this challenge with its delegation model, allowing you to delegate Microsoft 365 tasks securely without assigning broad or permanent admin roles.
Don’t over-permission your hybrid users. Delegate Microsoft 365 tasks the smart way with AdminDroid!
Using AdminDroid's delegation tool, you can grant access only to the necessary tasks without exposing other Microsoft 365 administration areas. This ensures scoped access, reduces risk, and maintains least-privilege control.

Role-based Access Control

With AdminDroid’s built-in and custom roles, you can enforce precise role-based access control for Active Directory administration. This granular model lets you define reusable roles tailored to your needs and assign them to delegated admins, thereby creating a clear Active Directory delegated permissions list. It promotes consistency, strengthens security, and improves operational efficiency.

Scoped Active Directory Access with Virtual Domains

Draw precise boundaries around what a delegated admin can manage using AdminDroid’s virtual domains. These flexible scopes let you restrict administrative access to only the intended domains, users, groups, or computers. You can also include specific objects across multiple domains and group them into a single virtual domain.

Deny Access to Sensitive Active
Directory Objects

When delegating access to many users, there’s a high risk of unintentionally exposing sensitive objects. That’s why AdminDroid offers a powerful Deny option to block access to sensitive objects. Whether it's executive user accounts, privileged security groups, or HR systems, you can ensure they are completely hidden.

Track Delegated Admin Activities
with Ease

Gain full visibility into delegated admin activities directly from the AdminDroid portal. Easily perform regular audits of delegated admins by tracking the reports they accessed, scheduled, and other key actions. These admin activity audit logs help you identify unnecessary access and maintain strict Active Directory delegation control.

View as Delegated Admin

Admins often want to verify what a delegated admin can access to avoid blind spots. With AdminDroid's Inspect feature, you can step into the delegated admin’s shoes with just a click. No guesswork, no assumptions, just clear visibility into what they can and cannot access! This allows you to precisely adjust permissions to meet the exact requirements.

Precisely Delegate Active Directory Resources Using Virtual Domains

“Delegate access to specific users, groups, computers, and contacts – exactly the way you want.”

Managing Active Directory permissions can quickly get complicated as organizations grow and responsibilities spread across teams. Giving every admin broad access might seem easier, but it opens the door to security and compliance risks. AdminDroid’s Virtual Domains solve it by allowing you to segment your directory and delegate access to specific domains, users, groups, computers, or contacts.

For example, you can allow the HR team to view reports only for HR users or give IT admins permission to manage specific servers without exposing the entire directory. With AdminDroid’s Virtual Domains, you gain powerful delegation benefits such as:

Least Privilege

Enforce strict least-privilege access by allowing delegated admins to view and manage only the resources they are responsible for.

Cross-Domain Scoping

Combine objects from multiple domains into a single virtual domain without duplication or structural changes.

Deny Permissions

Explicitly block access to sensitive resources, even if they fall within an admin's delegated scope.

Zero Active Directory Change

Ensure your Active Directory structure remains intact while keeping OUs, groups, and permissions unchanged.

Logical Boundaries

Define logical boundaries based on object attributes like job title, location, etc.

Build Flexible Delegation Models with Advanced Customization

“No one-size-fits-all? No problem. Create Active Directory delegation models that match your exact needs!”

AdminDroid gives you a head start for common delegation needs. But for environments requiring pinpoint precision, you can take control and go a step further. Craft custom roles and virtual domains that align perfectly with your unique scenarios.

For instance, a manager may need to change group memberships and monitor sign-in activities for their direct reports. Similarly, a tech support engineer may require access scoped to one location—such as managing Los Angeles users, administering computers in that region, and handling only a few assigned groups.

By combining roles and Virtual Domains effectively, you can restrict access to specific objects, hide sensitive resources, and allow only the defined reports and actions for each delegated admin. This ensures everyone gets exactly the permissions they need, and nothing more.
