We have a few domain accounts that are used to do LDAP queries for various systems. We don't want these accounts to be able to query all of the OUs in our AD.
# domain level we have given Authenticated Users Read access to all OUs.
Created a Security group that these accounts are members of.
Granted Security Group Read access to the three OUs where we have Users that they should be able to query.
Issued Deny Full Control rights to all of the other OUs that contain Users.
One of the systems using an account is our Copiers. A global search of the directory is still pulling up Users that exist within the OUs that have denys configured.
Not sure how this could be happening.
Thoughts?
It's not enough to have a deny on just the OU the objects are in. The permission needs to be a deny for:
List Contents
Read All Properties
Read Permissions
And it needs to be applied for "This object and all descendant objects" on the OU in question.

I have been able to enumerate Users, Groups and Group Members in Active Directory when I am logged in Administrator or Domain User in C#.
I would like to know which type of Users can read/query/search Active Directory objects.
Do we need to make the user a member of a particular Group or Assign permissions to the user ?
Thanks!
You should not need administrator or any permission to query/search/read AD group membership. unless you have altered the default security. A normal user account should work fine, and user at least have the same group memberships. you can query your AD with no problems with a user account, you can run CMD or Powershell with the credentials of the user account and test some LDAP queries.
You can Follow this Document for LDAP query example.
Note: One of the advantages of Microsoft's Active Directory is that it
allows users to search objects in the database by performing
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol queries. LDAP is an industry
standard used by several directory services to access information
within the directory database. Microsoft's Active Directory supports
both LDAP versions 2 and 3

A user is added to 2 different groups. 1 group is provided author access and another group is provided with editor access. First group has user role 'A' and second group has user role ' A,B'. What is the access and role the user would have?
The user would have the highest access level of all groups (in this case editor access) and all roles assigned to groups (in this case A and B) in database's ACL.
There is only one exception: if the user is listed with his own name in ACL then only these rights the user would have, no matter which listed groups he's member of.
The access levels are combined. However, Deny access takes precedence over Allow access.
See the docs for more info: http://www-12.lotus.com/ldd/doc/domino_notes/7.0/help7_admin.nsf/b3266a3c17f9bb7085256b870069c0a9/52f8492cea3792698525706f0065c44b?OpenDocument
Also, as the doc states it is helpful to use the Effective access feature within the ACL dialog to see exactly what the user access is.
for example, 2 extranet roles in sitecore Role1 and Role2
Role1 is block access to item, Role2 - allow access.
I need to have behavior that revers default sitecore behavior:
5.3 How Access Rights Affect Each Other In Sitecore, every user and role can be a member of several roles. When a security account has
been assigned several roles, the access rights that the different
roles possess are added together. The security account is therefore
assigned the accumulated access rights of all the roles that it is a
member of. However, if a security account is assigned two roles and
one of the roles is denied a specific access right to an item and the
other role is granted this access right to the same item, the access
right is denied for this security account. In other words, deny
always overrules grant when access rights are accumulated.
Is it possible to do via some sitecore settings or etc ?
Thanks.
What is the behaviour you want then? If someone has both Role 1 and Role 2 - Do you want that person to have see it?
In that case you'll be better off removing inheritance on Role 1 in stead of denying access. Denying access basically tells Sitecore to start over from a specific point. Role 2 can then get the access again.
Have a read through this: Best Practices from TheClientView. The very first example sounds like what you're trying to achieve:
There is a role A that denies a write access to a “/home/contact us”
item.
There is a role B that allows write access to the item. There is a user AB that
should have power of both roles A and B. But due to explicit deny permission on
the item, the user won’t be able to get write access on it. When you break the
security inheritance it sets permissions into default deny state, which could be
overridden, by setting up explicit allow access on a role. But explicit deny
access can never be overridden by explicit allow access.
I have a browser:page setup in Zope, and I have:
permission="zope2.Public"
My question is what should I change this to in order to allow only Plone administrators access, and/or logged in (non-administrators) access to this page?
On Zope, you control access to views via permissions, but to permit someone to access a given permission, you must grant such permissions to a role.
Anyone in the Plone administrators group has been granted the Manager role (on Plone 4.2 that'll change to the SiteAdmin role) generally have access to most permissions. There is also the automatic Authenticated role, which is given to anyone that has been authenticated (has logged in). The latter doesn't have many default permissions though.
Permissions are generally named after the action you want to permit. If your view's goal is to manage some aspect of your Plone portal, then the cmf.ManagePortal permission is probably what you want. You can check the full list of default permissions if you need another one.
There is some excellent documentation on how security works in Plone, which includes information on how to define new permissions too, and how to assign existing permissions to roles.
permission="cmf.ManagePortal"
This setting is about permissions not about roles.
Im trying to run a command on the AddUserToGroup method via webservices (UserGroup.asmx).
I set up the code as follows.
//set up the user group
userGroup = new UserGroup.UserGroup();
userGroup.Url = vtiBin + "/UserGroup.asmx";
userGroup.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
So I have my credentials being passed to the webserive. Now I run the following
userGroup.AddUserToGroup("System Group", preferedName, userLogin, email, "");
this throws an exception, my account does not have permission. however if I run this code under a different user with GOD access it works
What is the minimum required permission??
I have given my account
Full Access to the User Information List (on the sharepoint site)
Manage Analytics, Manage Audiences, Manage User Profiles, Personal Features, Personal Site, Set Permissions (sharedServices Admin, Personalization services permissions )
Couldn't this also have more to do with the permission to manage the group rather than permission to use the web service? I know I've run into similar situations via the UI before, and it turned out that I didn't have permissions to edit the group's membership. I believe there are a few situations in which you have permission to edit a group's membership:
You are the creator of the group
The creator of the group (or a site collection administrator) designated you as an owner of the group
The group was configured to allow all group members to edit its membership, and you are a member of the group
You are a site collection administrator
Is it possible that none of those conditions fit for you?
There is a permission in SharePoint to allow for web service calls. It's called "Use Remote Interfaces". Your user should have this permission to make changes via web services.
