**SAT User Provisioning and Server Access**  
**STOP: SAT Accounts should not be manually created**  
SAT user accounts should be provisioned through the ADEX Tool [HERE](https://adex.cbp.dhs.gov/WSG-Forms/SAT/SAT_Account_Provisioning.cfm)  
SAT Server access is granted to user accounts through Security Groups and enforced by Group Policy  
IT IS NOT granted by adding users to the Local Admin groups of servers. If added directly to These Local groups, the accounts will get removed during the next GPO processing.

Security Groups and GPOs  
When adding a user to security groups, you first need to know what servers the Security Groups grant access to. A future version of the App tool may enumerate those servers, but for now, the process is two-fold

1. Look up the Server object in the SAT Domain in ADUC, identify its OU location
2. Open Group Policy manager, look at that OU, and inspect the GPO that is being used for Server Access, and that will show you the Security groups.

The Security groups are created in the "Program Office" sub OU under "AccessControl\Groups Security\"  
These are the Groups that are presented during the use of the SAT Provisioning tool, by the program office selected.

**My server isn't inheriting a "Server Access :****" GPO**  
Security groups will need to be created in the Correct program Office OU location and named following the naming standards  
SAT\SG-*****-Server-Admins  
SAT\SG-*****-Server-Users  
A GPO must be Created and linked to the OU the server resides in   
**STOP..** GPO's are inherited by all member Servers in that OU  
If you are not 100% confident on the proper way to create a GPO or understand its effect on the servers that will inherit, contact a senior member of the WSG Staff to instruct or assist.
