AD Group Manager

Tags DFS groups

Overview

AD Group Manager is a web-based tool that allows designated group owners to manage membership of Active Directory (AD) security and distribution groups without requiring administrative access or specialized software.

The service is available at:

https://groupmanager.creighton.edu

Because AD Group Manager is browser-based, it can be used from Windows, MacOS and other operating systems. Users only need a supported web browser and appropriate permissions to manage one or more groups.

Requirements

Before accessing AD Group Manager, users must:

  • Be connected to Creighton's VPN.
  • Have been assigned ownership or management rights to one or more Active Directory groups.
  • Have a supported web browser.

Accessing the Service

  1. Connect to Creighton's VPN.
  2. Open a web browser.
  3. Navigate to https://groupmanager.creighton.edu.
  4. Sign in using your university credentials if prompted.
  5. Select the group you wish to manage.

Common Tasks

Group owners can typically perform the following actions:

  • View current group members.
  • Add users to a group.
  • Remove users from a group.
  • Search for users within the directory.
  • Review group membership information.

The groups available for management are determined by the permissions assigned to the user.

Troubleshooting

I cannot access the website.

Verify that:

  • You are connected to Creighton's VPN.
  • You are using the correct URL: https://groupmanager.creighton.edu.
  • Your account is not locked or experiencing authentication issues.

I can log in, but I do not see any groups.

You may not currently be assigned as an owner or manager of any Active Directory groups. For more information, please read this knowledgebase article—

I cannot modify a specific group.

Group management permissions are assigned individually. If a group does not appear or cannot be modified, contact Information Technology to verify your permissions.
