Active Directory dashboard entry

The Active Directory Dashboard entry provides a centralized and efficient way for system administrators and IT professionals to manage and interact with Active Directory (AD) services directly within Remote Desktop Manager.

It is possible to modify the Active Directory groups and add a user to it by using the AD dashboard (console). To do this, you must first restrict access to the folder that contains the administrative tools.

1. Create or select a folder.
2. Go to Folder properties – Security – Permissions – Set permissions to Never (which means that nobody except the admins can access the folder). Grant Access can always be used for more granularity.
3. Click OK to save.
