How to preconfigure new users using Active Directory at Cyclecloud

I configured the Azure Active Directory Domain Services as the Authentication method on Cyclecloud. When a new user logs into the server a new user is created without permissions. Can this process be configured somehow to add permissions to the new user since the first login?

    @Juan Felipe Giraldo Vallejo

    Thank you for your post and I apologize for the delayed response!

    I understand that you're using Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS) and would like to configure permissions for users whenever a new user logs into your server(s). To hopefully help point you in the right direction or resolve your issue, I'll share my findings below.


    Findings:

    When it comes to configuring permissions for new users whenever they login to your server(s), you should be able to administer a Group Policy in your Azure AD DS managed domain and customize the GPO as needed for your environment. For example, you can create a PowerShell script that adds the new user to a group, with the necessary permissions, whenever they log-in for the first time.

    I hope this helps!
