AD users losing sudo permissions.<\/a>\nIf you are using JumpCloud with your Active Directory server, leveraging the JumpCloud ADI, you may find that sudo\/administrator permissions are periodically lost after you set them within JumpCloud. The AD Import agent controls user attributes and membership in JumpCloud via AD security groups, and this is the case for the sudo\/admin user setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When using the JumpCloud AD Import agent, there are two AD security groups that you use to control behavior in JumpCloud. Both need to be created in the Users OU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- An integration specific security group<\/strong> – any user or group (or group of groups) placed in this group will be sync’d into JumpCloud. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- JumpCloud Admins<\/strong> – any user or group (or group of groups) placed in this group will set sudo\/administrator permissions on the user in JumpCloud.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
- Start the AD Sync Service from services.msc. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
