Integrated Security and AD Group

  • This is probably a basic question but I've not thought about it much until now. If a user has a domain login to a server with one set of rights and is part of an AD group login that has a second set of rights do the rights get merged or does one login take precedence over the other?

  • As far as I know both are taken into account, with denies taking priority over grants.

    I had this happen accidentally once when I was testing the effects of removing the BUILTIN\Administrators group from a server. I had set the group to deny logins, and as a result user accounts with sysadmin permissions that were also a local admins on the machine (and therefor in the BUILTIN\Administrator group) could no longer log in.

  • Yes, both are "merged" and as the other poster mentioned denies take precedence.
