cPVAL Approved Local Admins

Summary

A comma-separated list of approved local admins for the client. Setting this custom field at the location or computer level will override the value set at the organization level.

Notes

• Enclose the value in this custom field within single quotes.
  Example: 'firstCat'
  

• For multiple entries, separate each value with a comma.
  Example: 'firstCat, secondCat'
  

• Use the Domain keyword for domain users or groups. You do not need to specify the actual domain name; the automation will automatically convert Domain to the correct domain name for domain-joined machines and ignore it for workgroup machines.
  Example: 'firstCat, secondCat, Domain\Cats Group, Domain\goldenCat'
  

• There is no need to include Administrator or Domain\Domain Admins in the custom field, as the automation will automatically add Administrator and, for domain-joined machines, Domain\Domain Admins.

• If this custom field is left unset, the automation will remove all users from the local Admin group except for 'Administrator' (and 'Domain Admins' on domain-joined machines).
