Map an Organization Group Claim to a Resource Group

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Organization group claims in the resource Federation Service can be mapped to resource groups, which reside in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), so that federated users who have the organization group claim are treated as members of that resource group. Therefore, you must create a security group (which is the resource group) in the resource partner forest that represents the users who have the organization group claim but do not have domain user accounts in the resource partner forest. After you create the organization group claim, map the claim to the resource group that you created in the resource partner forest.

Note

This procedure is not required if the resource partner forest trusts the account partner forest and the Windows trust option is selected in the Active Directory Federation Services snap-in in both the account Federation Service and the resource Federation Service.

Perform this procedure on a resource federation server.

Membership in Administrators, or equivalent, on the local computer is the minimum required 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).
