Description

The Set-ADCentralAccessRule cmdlet can be used to modify a central access rule in a central access policy that is stored in Active Directory.

Examples

Example 1: Set a condition on a central access rule

PS C:\> $departmentResourceProperty = Get-ADResourceProperty -Identity Department
PS C:\> $resourceCondition = "(@RESOURCE." + $departmentResourceProperty.Name + " Contains {`"Finance`"})" 
PS C:\> Set-ADCentralAccessRule -Identity "Finance Documents Rule" -ResourceCondition $resourceCondition

This command sets the central access rule named Finance Documents Rule with a new resource condition. The resource condition scopes the resources to ones containing the value Finance in their Department resource property.

Example 2: Set a resource condition and new permissions on a central access rule

PS C:\> $CountryClaimType = Get-ADClaimType -Identity Country 
PS C:\> $DepartmentClaimType = Get-ADClaimType -Identity Department 
PS C:\> $CountryResourceProperty = Get-ADResourceProperty -Identity Country 
PS C:\> $DepartmentResourceProperty = Get-ADResourceProperty -Identity Department 
PS C:\> $FinanceException = Get-ADGroup -Identity FinanceException 
PS C:\> $FinanceAdmin = Get-ADGroup -Identity FinanceAdmin 
PS C:\> $ResourceCondition = "(@RESOURCE." + $departmentResourceProperty.Name + " Contains {`"Finance`"})" 
PS C:\> $CurrentAcl = "O:SYG:SYD:AR(A;;FA;;;OW)(A;;FA;;;BA)(A;;0x1200a9;;;" + $financeException.SID.Value + ")(A;;0x1301bf;;;" + $FinanceAdmin.SID.Value + ")(A;;FA;;;SY)(XA;;0x1200a9;;;AU;((@USER." + $CountryClaimType.Name + " Any_of @RESOURCE." + $CountryResourceProperty.Name + ") && (@USER." + $DepartmentClaimType.Name + " Any_of @RESOURCE." + $DepartmentResourceProperty.Name + ")))" 
PS C:\> Set-ADCentralAccessRule -Identity "Finance Documents Rule" -ResourceCondition $ResourceCondition -CurrentAcl $currentAcl

This example sets the central access rule named Finance Documents Rule with a new resource condition and new permissions.

The new rule specifies that documents should only be read by members of the Finance department. Members of the Finance department should only be able to access documents in their own country. Only Finance Administrators should have write access. The rule allows an exception for members of the FinanceException group. This group will have read access.

Targeting:

  • Resource.Department Contains Finance
  • Allow Full control User.MemberOf(FinanceAdmin)

Access rules:

  • Allow Read User.Country=Resource.Country AND User.department = Resource.Department
  • Allow Full control User.MemberOf(FinanceAdmin)
  • Allow Read User.Country=Resource.Country AND User.department = Resource.Department
  • Allow Read User.MemberOf(FinanceException)

Example 3: Set a description on a central access rule

PS C:\> Get-ADCentralAccessRule -Identity "Finance Documents Rule" | Set-ADCentralAccessRule -Description "For finance documents."

This command gets the central access rule named Finance Documents Rule, and set the description to For finance documents.

Required Parameters

-Identity

Specifies an Active Directory object by providing one of the following property values. The identifier in parentheses is the LDAP display name for the attribute. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • A distinguished name
  • A GUID (objectGUID)
  • A security identifier (objectSid)
  • A SAM account name (sAMAccountName)

This parameter can also get this object through the pipeline or you can set this parameter to an object instance.

Type: ADCentralAccessRule
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Instance

Specifies a modified copy of an central access rule object to use to update the actual central access rule object. When this parameter is used, any modifications made to the modified copy of the object are also made to the corresponding central access rule object. The cmdlet only updates the object properties that have changed.

The Instance parameter can only update central access rule objects that have been retrieved by using the Get-ADCentralAccessRule cmdlet. When you specify the Instance parameter, you cannot specify other parameters that set properties on the object.

Type: ADCentralAccessRule
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Optional Parameters

-Add

Specifies values to add to an object property. You can use this parameter to add one or more values to a property that cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To modify an object property, you must use the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) display name. You can specify multiple values to a property by specifying a comma-separated list of values and more than one property by separating them using a semicolon.. The format for this parameter is:

-Add @{Attribute1LDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...; Attribute2LDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...; AttributeNLDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...}

When you use the Add , Remove , Replace , and Clear parameters together, the operations are performed in the following order:

Parameter Sets: Negotiate, Basic
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Clear

Specifies an array of object properties that are cleared in the directory. Use this parameter to clear one or more values of a property that cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To modify an object property, you must use the LDAP display name. You can modify more than one property by specifying a comma-separated list. The format for this parameter is:

-Clear Attribute1LDAPDisplayName, Attribute2LDAPDisplayName

When you use the Add , Remove , Replace , and Clear parameters together, the operations are performed in the following order:

Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Credential

Specifies the user account credentials to use to perform this task. The default credentials are the credentials of the currently logged on user unless the cmdlet is run from an Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell provider drive. If the cmdlet is run from such a provider drive, the account associated with the drive is the default.

To specify this parameter, you can type a user name, such as User1 or Domain01\User01 or you can specify a PSCredential object. If you specify a user name for this parameter, the cmdlet prompts for a password.

You can also create a PSCredential object by using a script or by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. You can then set the Credential parameter to the PSCredential object.

If the acting credentials do not have directory-level permission to perform the task, Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell returns a terminating error.

Type: PSCredential

Returns the modified ADCentralAccessPolicyEntry object when the PassThru parameter is specified. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Notes

  • This cmdlet does not work with an Active Directory snapshot.
  • This cmdlet does not work with a read-only domain controller.
