How to View a List of Objects Owned by a User in the Portal

Overview​

Netwrix Directory Manager (formerly GroupID) allows you to view all groups owned by a specific user in the portal. By adding a new field mapped to the managedObjects attribute in the user properties, you can display a list of groups that a user owns. This article explains how to configure the portal to show this information.

NOTE: Before making any changes to your environment, it is highly recommended to create a backup, snapshot, or checkpoint of the Directory Manager server.

The default properties page for users does not display owned groups:
