function Set-AdAclCreateDeleteContact { <# .SYNOPSIS Delegates permissions to a group for creating and deleting Contact objects in an OU. .DESCRIPTION The Set-AdAclCreateDeleteContact function delegates the necessary Active Directory permissions to allow a specified group to create and delete contact objects within a specified container or organizational unit (OU). The function adds an Access Control Entry (ACE) to the specified OU granting CreateChild and DeleteChild rights specifically for contact objects. This enables the delegated group to create new contacts and delete existing contacts within the specified OU. When the -RemoveRule parameter is used, the function removes these permissions instead of granting them. .PARAMETER Group Identity of the group getting the delegation. Can be specified as SamAccountName, DistinguishedName, ObjectGUID, or SID. This is typically a domain local group responsible for contact management. .PARAMETER LDAPpath Distinguished Name of the object (or container) where the permissions are going to be configured. This is typically an Organizational Unit where contacts are managed. .PARAMETER RemoveRule If present, the access rule will be removed instead of being added. .PARAMETER Force If present, the function will not ask for confirmation when performing actions. .EXAMPLE Set-AdAclCreateDeleteContact -Group "SG_ContactAdmins_XXXX" -LDAPPath "OU=Contacts,OU=XXXX,OU=Sites,DC=EguibarIT,DC=local" Delegates the permissions for the group "SG_ContactAdmins_XXXX" to create and delete contact objects in the specified OU. .EXAMPLE Set-AdAclCreateDeleteContact -Group "SG_ContactAdmins_XXXX" -LDAPPath "OU=Contacts,OU=XXXX,OU=Sites,DC=EguibarIT,DC=local" -RemoveRule Removes the permissions for the group "SG_ContactAdmins_XXXX" to create and delete contact objects in the specified OU. .EXAMPLE $Splat = @{ Group = "SG_ContactAdmins_XXXX" LDAPPath = "OU=Contacts,OU=XXXX,OU=Sites,DC=EguibarIT,DC=local" Force = $true } Set-AdAclCreateDeleteContact @Splat Delegates the permissions without prompting for confirmation. .INPUTS System.String for Group and LDAPpath parameters. .OUTPUTS System.Void .NOTES Used Functions: Name ║ Module/Namespace ═══════════════════════════════════════════╬══════════════════════════════ Set-AclConstructor5 ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS Get-AttributeSchemaHashTable ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS Get-FunctionDisplay ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS Get-AdObjectType ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS Write-Verbose ║ Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility Test-IsValidDN ║ EguibarIT.DelegationPS .NOTES Version: 2.0 DateModified: 22/May/2025 LastModifiedBy: Vicente Rodriguez Eguibar vicente@eguibar.com Eguibar IT http://www.eguibarit.com .LINK https://github.com/vreguibar/EguibarIT.DelegationPS .COMPONENT Active Directory .ROLE Security .FUNCTIONALITY Contact Management, Delegation of Control #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true, ConfirmImpact = 'Medium')] [OutputType([void])] Param ( # PARAM1 STRING for the Delegated Group Name [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, HelpMessage = 'Identity of the group getting the delegation, usually a DomainLocal group.', Position = 0)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Alias('IdentityReference', 'Identity', 'Trustee', 'GroupID')] $Group, # PARAM2 Distinguished Name of the OU where the computer will get password reset [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, HelpMessage = 'Distinguished Name of the OU where the computer will get password reset', Position = 1)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateScript({ Test-IsValidDN -ObjectDN $_ }, ErrorMessage = 'DistinguishedName provided is not valid!
