How to Set 'Semi-Private' as the Default Security Type in v11

Applies To

Netwrix Directory Manager 11

Overview

By default, users can choose from several security types when creating a group in the Netwrix Directory Manager 11 user portal. You can configure the portal to set semi-private as the default security type in the Create Group wizard. You also have the option to allow users to select a different security type or to enforce the default for all users.

Instructions

1. Open the Directory Manager Admin Portal at https://servername/AdminCenter/. Navigate to Applications, select your desired portal, and click the three dots (...) to edit it.
   

2. Click Settings.
   

3. Under Design Settings, click your identity store’s name.
   

4. On the Create Object tab, select Group from the Select Directory Object drop-down list.
   

5. In the Name list, select General and click Edit.

6. In the Edit Design Category dialog box, select Security and click Edit.
   

7. In the Edit Field dialog box, click the Advanced options link.
   

8. Select Semi_Private from the Default Value drop-down list.
   

9. Optional: To enforce the semi-private security type, select the Is Read-Only check box. This action disables the Security drop-down list in the Create Group wizard and displays only the default value.
   
   

10. Optional: To hide the Security drop-down list from a specific role, select the desired role (such as Administrator or Helpdesk) from the Visibility Role drop-down list. The Security drop-down list is visible to users of the selected role and to roles with a higher priority value, but hidden from all roles with a lower priority value.
