Change the Default Dynasty Operator
Applies To
Netwrix Directory Manager 10 Automate and Netwrix Directory Manager 11 Group Management
Overview
In some organizations, the Title field may include multiple abbreviations (such as A1, B2, or C1) or a full job title with tiers (such as Systems and Network Engineer). In these cases, using the default Is Exactly operator when creating Dynasties may not produce the desired group structure.
Instead, you can use the Starts with or Ends with operator to better match partial title values and group users accordingly.
Example: Using a Custom Attribute
If the Title and Tier are separated—such as placing the title in Custom Attribute 1—you can group by that attribute to simplify results.
Attribute value: Custom Attribute 1 = SOC Analyst
Sample group created: Everyone who is SOC Analyst
Example: Using the Full Title Field
If the Title field includes both the title and tier (e.g., SOC Analyst I, SOC Analyst II), Netwrix Directory Manager will create a group for each unique value.
Attribute values:
- Title =
SOC Analyst I - Title =
SOC Analyst II
Sample groups created:
- Everyone who is SOC Analyst I
- Everyone who is SOC Analyst II
To avoid excessive group creation, use the Group-By filter to focus only on the desired portion of the value—for example, everyone who is SOC Analyst.
