In our system we use Active Directory to store users and then Crowd server is used to authenticate users to the Atlassian systems.
I need to implement a mechanism to add users to the groups in crowd when a new user in AD syncs with crowd. If user email is #xyz.com they should be automatically added to xyz group and If user email is #abc.com they should be automatically added to abc group etc.
How can I do this?

We have Azure AD sync'ing user accounts to Salesforce - this is working fine. In Salesforce we have a few custom 'Profiles'. And in Azure AD > Enterprise Apps > Salesforce > Users & Groups, we have AD Groups mapped to these profiles https://i.imgur.com/TjjdT7H.png
Due to additional development in Salesforce, we are now making use of a few Permission Sets (and Permission Set Groups), as well as Public Groups.
Rather than manually managing assignments to these various groups when new users are provisioned, I would like to automate it, based on Azure AD group membership.
I have read a bunch of threads on this topic. One suggesting the way to do this is to create an new App Role (link - see comment by Mike-S122). This is done via App Registrations > Salesforce > App Roles. So I created an App Role, which shows up when in Enterprise Apps > Salesforce > Users & Groups - I can click 'Add user/group', select the new Role in the list, and assign an AD Group, but if I try to provision-on-demand a user, I get an error that the user cannot belong to two groups. That makes sense.
Perhaps I need to edit the provisioning mappings instead? My current mapping looks like this.
As the title says, I have a user "User1" in a group "Techs" and "Techs" is a Role Enabled Azure AD, Cloud Only, Security Group that is assigned both the Exchange Administrator, Helpdesk Administrator and Exchange Recipients Administrator roles.
User1 is able to powershell and use most cmdlets for mailbox management, but is unable to access the EAC. Attempting to access EAC sends User1 to a mailbox management page for their own mailbox, and attempting to Edit Mailbox Properties for a user in the Microsoft 365 Portal greets User1 with a 403 forbidden page.
Direct assignment of exchange admin role works, but defeats the purpose of using a group. Anyone else experience this or know how I can fix it?
Currently, it is possible to switch back to the existing EAC (often called the "classic" EAC), but at a future date, the classic EAC will be retired.
But I suggest not to use "classic" EAC for work because according to my test, the methods listed here cannot allow the exchange admin to manage the mailboxes in the tenant.
It's recommended to access new EAC using these 2 methods.
Sign in to Microsoft 365 or Office 365 using your work or school account.
In the left navigation pane, navigate to Admin centers > Exchange.
You can also get to the new Exchange admin center directly by using
the URL https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com and signing in using your
credentials.
As the document suggests, Be sure to use a private browsing session (not a regular session) to access the Exchange admin center using the direct URL. This will prevent the credential that you are currently logged on with from being used.
In this way, your user which is assigned Exchange Admin role with Group inherit way should be able to access EAC successfully.
I am added to project collection administrator group in VSTS. Still not able to add a new user. I am added using my official email ID i.e. Microsoft work account.
Its says
Guest users are not allowed to perform this action.
I saw the reason on this link
I believe the primary reason for this error is because when a co-admin
with Microsoft account is added to a subscription, it gets added into
the subscription AD as Guest user type.
but since it is very old thread i like to know if there is an easy way to get myself ability to add new user or basically manage VSTS on behalf of client. I hate requesting client to add a new user in team. Also he is not tech savvy so I would like suggest him a simple solution (running Powershell might be annoying for him).
You are inviting users from outside directory. The user will be able to access the account and its resources, so you need the enough permission to add new user to the AD, but you are the Guest user, so it throws Guest Users are not allowed to perform this action.
You need to contact to the corresponding user (e.g. AD admin) to add users to AD or grant the enough role and permission to you to add user to AD.
No easy way to do this, because it is related to security.
I have succesfully configured IBM Domino authentication against Active Directory for web users by following the
https://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/dominowiki.nsf/dx/Streamlining_passwords_and_achieving_SSO_for_users_on_Windows_platforms .. and .. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21293255 tutorials. Now user can authenticate even there is no Person document in my Domino directory. Is there a way how to avoid authentication when Person document missing for particular user?
Based on this tutorial and 'step 2' section I assumed, that when I dont specify LN user name in AD then Domino tries to find Person document in names.nsf based on user's email. But it doesnt work this way. Without specifying Notes name in AD, Domino server have no idea what is Notes user name for just authenticated user. Is here any way how to configure this in a way, that Domino authenticates only users available in names.nsf and not all these in AD?
I'm not sure what You have and what You want to avoid, but, here are few notes that might clear things:
You don't need DA for Kerberos SSO to work
DA allows "all" AD users to login
After login, You need authorization (as Frantisek Kossuth wrote)
authorization can be set with AD names - You don't have to have Person documents
TDI is best solution - You can "copy" just AD users that you want in Domino, and set SSO for them (you have already)
I can check user in active directory, if he exist then I give him permission to open app window, but what if an application has many levels of permission? Do I create special groups of permission in active direcotry and check if user belongs to one of them? . Can application log in automaticaly, or there is always need to enter password?
Active Directory can fulfill two related but seperate functions for an application: Authorization and Authentication.
Authentication is validating that the person using your application is a valid user. If you have the user's credentials (i.e. the application prompts the user for their username and password), you can authenticate them against AD by attempting a connection using their username/password.
Authorization is what lets you determine the level of permissions a particular user has in your application. Active Directory groups are a relatively straightforward and flexible way to implement the various permissions levels. Typically, I will create very fine-grained permissions groups that represent each securable action users can perform in the application (i.e. CanDeleteWidgets, CanAddWidgets, CanEditWidgets ). Then create functional or role groups where you place the users for that role (i.e. Managers, Coordinators, Technicians, etc). Finally, you just nest the role groups into the permissions groups so if, for example, the business requirement is that Managers can delete widgets, you would add the Managers group as a member of the CanDeleteWidgets group. While this may seem more complex, it makes it extremely simple to respond to changing business security requirements (i.e. "Technicians need to be able to delete widgets" - Piece of cake. Add the Technicians role group to the CanDeleteWidgets permissions group and you're done).
As far as logging in automatically, yes, there are a number of ways you can automatically log in a user. For winforms apps, you should just be able to grab the currently logged in user and use that. For web apps, if you can use integrated authentication, you end up with the same thing. Your web server will handle the authentication piece and send over the DOMAIN\USERNAME of the user in a server header variable.
