Unable to create a user

Hello,

I keep getting this error message when I try to create an account via the admin page

Access is denied. (Server: domain.local)

I am assuming this has to do with the permissions on the adaxes log on service. The account is not a domain admin. It does have permissions as an admin on the PC via AD users and computers. Do I have to use a domain admin account to create the user?

I looked at the logs and it says the same error above. Im a bit lost now.

Hello,

The issue occurs because the account specified for the managed domain in Adaxes does not have required native AD permissions. For information on how to check/change the account, have a look at the following help article: https://www.adaxes.com/help/ChangeManagedDomainServiceAccount. It is not necessary to make the account a domain admin. You can just grant them the permissions to create user accounts.

On the built in Create User, how can I get the ability for the user to choose a different domain in the username field?

Using this built in function: There is no option to change the domain on the user account, however this is not the domain we use for UPN. However after creating a user, you can change it but trying to avoid going back into the object.
