5748.0. "Using a trusted domain" by NEWVAX::RWICKERT (Washington D.C. PSC) Wed Feb 26 1997 06:38

    
    I have some questions regarding trust relationships and how to setup
    accounts/groups to make use of them.
    
    The situation is I have a domain consisting of a single system, the
    PDC. This domain trusts another domain and I have sucessfully setup
    that trust. I do NOT have administrative rights in the trusted domain,
    just in my local resource domain. Now I want to add some users from the
    trusted domain to a local group so I can grant them access to a
    resource.
    
    I enter User Manager for Domains and I see my local users and groups
    but no the ones from the trusted domain. I can create a new local group
    but it only shows local users as being available to add to it. I then
    do a "select domain" from the file menu and enter in the trusted
    domain. After a pause (it's a big user database) it lists the users and
    groups in the trusted domain but if I double click on anything it comes
    back with can't access properties - access denied. I'm sure this is
    because I don't have admin privs in the trusted domain. So now I'm
    stuck.
    
    How do I do this?
    
    Thanks,
    Ray

    Hi,
    
    You must first have a global group created in the trusted domain
    by that domain's admin. He/she should add the users from the 
    trusted/master domain into the global group. Then you can add the global 
    group to the local group(s) in your trusting domain.
