Description

The New-ADCentralAccessPolicy cmdlet creates a new central access policy in Active Directory. A central access policy in Active Directory contains a set of central access rules.

Examples

Example 1: Create a central access policy with a resource condition

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

This command creates a 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: Create a central access policy with a resource condition and new permissions

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 command creates a 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/region. 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

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.DepartmentAllow Read User.MemberOf(FinanceException)

Example 3: Create a central access policy using properties from an existing Active Directory object

PS C:\> Get-ADCentralAccessPolicy -Identity "Finance Policy" | New-ADCentralAccessPolicy -Name "Human Resources Policy" -Description "For the Human Resources Department."

This command creates a central access policy named Human Resources Policy using the property values from Finance Policy, and set the description to For the Human Resources Department.

Parameters

-AuthType

Specifies the authentication method to use. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • Negotiate or 0
  • Basic or 1

The default authentication method is Negotiate.

A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection is required for the Basic authentication method.

Type:ADAuthType
Accepted values:Negotiate, Basic
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required: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
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Description

Specifies a description of the object. This parameter sets the value of the Description property for the object. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) display name (ldapDisplayName) for this property is description.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Instance

Specifies an instance of an Active Directory object to use as a template for a new Active Directory object.

You can use an instance of an existing Active Directory object as a template or you can construct a new Active Directory object by using the Windows PowerShell command line or by using a script.

Method 1: Use an existing Active Directory object as a template for a new object. To retrieve an instance of an existing Active Directory object, use a cmdlet such as Get-ADObject. Then provide this object to the Instance parameter of the New-ADObject cmdlet to create a new Active Directory object. You can override property values of the new object by setting the appropriate parameters.

Method 2: Create a new ADObject and set the property values by using the Windows PowerShell command line interface. Then pass this object to the Instance parameter of the New-ADObject cmdlet to create the new Active Directory object.

Note: Specified attributes are not validated, so attempting to set attributes that do not exist or cannot be set will raise an error.

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

-Name

Specifies the name of the object. This parameter sets the Name property of the Active Directory object. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) display name (ldapDisplayName) of this property is name.

Type:String
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False

-ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion

Specifies whether to prevent the object from being deleted. When this property is set to true, you cannot delete the corresponding object without changing the value of the property. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • $False or 0
  • $True or 1

The service may be any of the following: Active Directory Lightweight Domain Services, Active Directory Domain Services or Active Directory snapshot instance.

Specify the Active Directory Domain Services instance in one of the following ways:

Domain name values:

  • Fully qualified domain name
  • NetBIOS name

Directory server values:

  • Fully qualified directory server name
  • NetBIOS name
  • Fully qualified directory server name and port

The default value for this parameter is determined by one of the following methods in the order that they are listed:

  • By using the Server value from objects passed through the pipeline
  • By using the server information associated with the Active Directory Domain Services Windows PowerShell provider drive, when the cmdlet runs in that drive
  • By using the domain of the computer running Windows PowerShell
Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Inputs

None or Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADCentralAccessPolicy

An Active Directory object that is a template for the new object is received by the Instance parameter.

Returns the new central access policy 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.
