# Get-DSADGroup

Get-DSADGroup retrieves Active Directory groups from a domain user PAM provider in Devolutions Server, filtered by organizational unit.

### Synopsis

Get groups from a domain user PAM provider

### Syntax

#### \_\_AllParameterSets

```
Get-DSADGroup [-ProviderID] <guid> [[-DN] <string>] [-AsJITSettings] [-AsLegacyResponse]
 [<CommonParameters>]
```

### Description

Get groups from a domain user PAM provider. It returns the groups of the oganizational unit specified by DN. If the DN parameter is not used, it will look at the root. It is not possible to fetch all groups directly. The data returned can be added to the JIT settings' authorized groups of the provider.

### Examples

```powershell
PS C:\> $getResponse = Get-DSPamProvider
        $provider = $getResponse | Where Label -eq 'MyDomainUserProvider'
        $desiredGroups = Get-DSADGroup -ProviderID $provider.ID -DN 'OU=Test,DC=mydomain,DC=loc'
        $provider.JitElevationSettings.AuthorizedGroups = $desiredGroups
        Update-DSPamProvider -InputObject $provider
```

Add all groups of the 'Test' organizational unit in the JIT settings' authorized groups of the provider 'MyDomainUserProvider' and save the modification

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell/powershell-commands/get-dsadgroup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
