Manager can update membership list
I am trying to find a good way to handle the "Manager can update the membership list". As far as I can see there is no build in functionality to control this. Is that correct? I guess I have to write an Extended MA to set the permissions on the groups where this have to be controlled. Any other ideas? /Søren

Hi Søren! Extended MA? Am I missing something here because I don't understand what you mean. The permissions is handled using MPR's and also you'll have to do a little trick with a Home Page resource. Have a look at this it might help you - it's all about group owners but make your managers group owners and you're all set: http://idmcrisis.com/post/2009/12/02/FIM-2010-How-to-let-non-admin-group-owners-manage-their-groups.aspx It's quite some time I wrote this but I had a quick look and it seems to be the same in RTM. //Henrik Henrik Nilsson, ILM/FIM MVP Blog: http://www.idmcrisis.com Company: Cortego (http://www.cortego.se)

Hi Henrik. Sorry for bad explaining. The managers needs to update the groups directly in Outlook. So, I need alter the permissions on the groups in AD. /Søren

Hi Søren! ...Using the Outlook FIM Addin I presume? I've never tried out the Outlook Addin but I guess it's communicating using the FIM Web service so the managers shouldn't require any AD permissions but I may be wrong. I've understood that the Outlook Addin is limited by only handling mail enabled groups, is that be your issue?: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ilm2/thread/d4bb461d-6413-4319-9704-4cc0a14df734 //Henrik Henrik Nilsson, ILM/FIM MVP Blog: http://www.idmcrisis.com Company: Cortego (http://www.cortego.se)

Hi Henrik. Unfortunately the clients are runing Office 2003, so i needs to be the build in functionality in Outlook. /Søren

All these details would have been helpful when you started the thread... If you wish to manage groups directly in AD instead of FIM your question is off topic for this forum but if you rather would like to use an Outlook add-in for this against FIM and the one that comes with FIM doesn't work on Outlook 2003 I recommend you to write your own Outlook add-in for communicating with FIM using the Web service client: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa289167%28VS.71%29.aspx http://fim2010client.codeplex.com/ //HenrikHenrik Nilsson, ILM/FIM MVP Blog: http://www.idmcrisis.com Company: Cortego (http://www.cortego.se)
