Grant rights to move objects

To move objects from one organizational unit to another, a user must be granted two rights:

  • Move Objects From Container

  • Move Objects To Container

If a user has the Move Objects From Container right for an object, they can move the object out of its current OU. If a user has the Move Objects To Container right for an OU, they can move objects to the OU.

The Move Objects From Container right must be assigned over the objects that you want to allow moving. The Move Objects To Container right must be assigned over the organizational units you want to allow moving objects to. Depending on your requirements, sometimes it is better to use two security roles to delegate the rights – one role will grant the Move Objects From Container right, and another role will grant the The Move Objects To Container right.

Permissions granted by security roles are effective only within Adaxes.

To create a security role that grants the rights to move objects:

  1. Launch Adaxes Administration console.
