6.9.5 Granting rights to add and delete group entries
Some organizations want to allow employees to create entries in the tree if it can increase their
efficiency or if it can contribute to the corporate dynamics.
At example.com, there is an active social committee that is organized into various clubs, such
as tennis, swimming, and skiing. Any example.com employee can create a group entry
representing a new club. This is illustrated in “ACI "Create Group"” (page 278). Any example.com
employee can become a member of one of these groups. This is illustrated in “ACI "Group
Members"” (page 283) under “Allowing users to add or remove themselves from a group” (page
283). Only the group owner can modify or delete a group entry. This is illustrated in “ACI "Delete
Group"” (page 279).
6.9.5.1 ACI "Create Group"
In LDIF, to grant example.com employees the right to create a group entry under the ou=Social
Committee branch, write the following statement:
aci: (target="ldap:///ou=social committee,dc=example,dc=com)
(targattrfilters="add=objectClass:(objectClass=groupOfNames)")
(version 3.0; acl "Create Group"; allow (add)
(userdn= "ldap:///uid=*,ou=example-people,dc=example,dc=com")
and dns="*.example.com";)
NOTE:
This ACI does not grant write permission, which means that the entry creator cannot modify the
entry.
This example assumes that the ACI is added to the ou=social committee,
dc=example,dc=com entry.
From the Console, set this permission by doing the following:
