User Rights Assignment

Synopsis

This PowerShell module is designed to ...

  • analyze the effective user rights assignments on any given computer.
  • provide insights into where the curent URA settings come from
  • compare the URA between multiple result sets to detect the delta between two computer

Installation

To install this module, run the following command on an internet facing computer:

Install-Module UserRightsAssignment -Scope CurrentUser

To transport this module to a non-internet facing machine, download the module and its dependencies to a target folder:

# Download into the current folder
Save-Module UserRightsAssignment -Path .

then copy them to the machine from which you want to execute the commands. The module and its dependencies should be copied into a folder on the target machine where PowerShell knows to look for modules. To get a list of these paths, run the following line in the PowerShell console on the target machine:

$env:PSModulePath -split ";"

Any of these paths should do.

Prerequisites

This module depends on two modules:

  • PSFramework
  • ActiveDirectory

The former is added as an explicit module dependency and downloaded together with this module. The ActiveDirectory module needs to be installed via Windows tools, either as a Server Feature (on Windows Servers) or a Windows Optional Feature (on Windows 10 Clients).

Windows PowerShell 5.1 or later (including any PowerShell Core versions) is also required.

Using it

To get a simple list of assignments, run this command:

Get-UserRightsAssignment -ComputerName server1,server2

To compare two different computers, do this:

$server1 = Get-UserRightsAssignment -ComputerName server1
$server2 = Get-UserRightsAssignment -ComputerName server2
Compare-UserRightsAssignment -Assignment $server1 -DiffAssignment $server2
