RAD ADM (Active Directory Management) accounts


Rutgers Active Directory (RAD) uses ADM accounts for elevated rights to modify an Organizational Unit's (OU’s), groups, printers, group policies, servers and workstations within your organization. An ADM account will be based on your existing NetID. If you are on boarding your department for RAD, you should identify who in your organization requires ADM accounts for OU or Workstation admin access and have them go through the request process below.

Request Additional Elevated/ADM account

Follow the instructions on how to request and setup a RAD ADM account

If you had an ADM account prior to when the Request process was implemented, you will have to still go through the Request process to link your existing ADM account to your NetID.

Once your ADM account has been provisioned correctly, the password for that account can be managed by logging into the NetID Management page with your standard NetID credentials. Once successfully logged in, you should see an option in the left-hand menu to manage your RAD Admin account. Passwords for ADM account must be different than the password for your standard NetID account.

Elevated Privileges

ADM account will not have any extra access unless added to the appropriate AD group or provided through a Group policy. If you are not sure what access is needed, please contact the OU admin for your area.

Restrictions

ADM accounts should not be used to log into workstations. If admin rights are needed, the ADM credentials should be entered in the elevated prompt.
