Create a Rule to Send Group Membership as a Claim

  • Article

 

Applies To: Windows Server 2012 R2

By using the Send Group Membership as a Claim rule template in Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), you can create a rule that enables you to select an Active Directory security group to send as a claim. Only a single claim is emitted from this rule, which is based on the group that you select. For example, you can use this rule template to create a rule that sends a group claim with a value of Admin if the user is a member of the Domain Admins security group. This rule should be used only for users in the local Active Directory domain.

You can use the following procedure to create a claim rule by using the AD FS Management snap-in.

Membership in Administrators, or equivalent, on the local computer is the minimum requirement to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).
