Directory permissions allow you to restrict the way in which directories can be used by mapped applications. Often, administrators need to limit applications to only being able to read — not modify — directory entity data, i.e. the users and groups contained within the directory. You can achieve this by disabling the relevant directory permissions.

Directory permissions are defined at two levels:

  1. Directory-level permissions are defined on the 'Permissions' tab of the 'View Directory' screen. These permissions apply to each application mapped to the directory, unless the application has its own application-level permissions.
  2. Application-level directory permissions are defined on the 'Permissions' tab of the 'View Application' screen. If a permission is enabled at directory level, you can enable it for a specific application. For example, you could enable the 'Add User' permission on the 'Customers' directory in JIRA but disable the permission for Confluence.

Take a look at an example.

Disabling a directory-level permission will override any permissions enabled at application level. If a permission is enabled at application level and then subsequently disabled at directory level, the directory-level permission will apply. (The application-level permissions will be 'remembered' and will apply again if re-enabled at directory level.)

How do directory permissions affect the Crowd application (Crowd Administration Console)?

  • If a particular permission is turned off at directory level, then no application can perform the related function - not even the Crowd application. So, for example, if you disable the 'Remove User' permission for a directory, then the Crowd Administration Console will not allow you to delete a user from that directory.
  • The Crowd application is not bound by application-level permissions, because any user who could log into the Crowd application could change the application-level permissions for the Crowd application anyway.

Below, we tell you about directory-level permissions. You can also read more about application-level directory permissions.

When you add a new directory, all of its permissions are enabled by default.

To specify directory permissions,

  1. Configure a new directory as described in Adding a Directory or select an existing directory from the Directory Browser.
  2. Click the 'Permissions' tab. This will display a list of permissions as shown in the screenshot below.
    • To enable a directory permission, select the corresponding checkbox.
    • To disable a directory permission, deselect the corresponding checkbox.

Need to grant users permission to access an application?

To control which users within a directory may access a mapped application, see Specifying which Groups can access an Application.
