Summary

Information on how to add / edit / remove individual rights to an Active Directory group.

Body

Issue/Question

How do faculty or staff add or remove users from an Active Directory group?

Cause

Access to many WKU resources is based upon membership in Active Directory groups.  This could include access to WKU-Owned devices, shared and custom network storage, shared calendars or email mailboxes, and so forth.

Resolution

Requests to add or remove Active Directory (AD) group membership must come from an active WKU Faculty or Staff member.  Most AD group changes will require ITS to contact the group manager on file and obtain approval.

To initiate an AD group membership change, please contact the ITS Service Desk or submit a service request by clicking the Request Service button.
