ARS 6.9 - DACL getting re-added by ARS proxy account

we did a cleanup task to remove the users (not default accounts)  who had read/write permissions enabled on Group objects.  We removed this directly from security properties tab of group object. However, we noticed that the ARS proxy account we have re-adds the permission the next day exactly at the same time. We do have a scheduled task running around the same time which is for collector service.  Does collector re-add the DACLs?  Pls help to understand this.  If yes, why?   How do we remove this function?  What are the impacts?

  • When you originally applied your AR Access Templates, did you select the 'sync to AD' option whereby the permissions granted through AR are also written through to native AD ACLs?

    You can tell this if you go to the lower right pane in the AR MMC, select the Active Roles Security tab, double click one of your ATs. Next, select the Synchronization tab and see if the 'Propagate permissions to Active Directory' box is checked. If yes, then AR is writing the native version of the ATs permissions into your AD.
  • Nope. We made sure that's not synced to AD in all templates. Since i created all templates , i am pretty sure about it. Btw, we removed the permissions on group directly from AD and not thru ARS.
  • Do you have the 'owner can update group membership' box checked on the groups in question? This also applies native ACLs and is independent of applied ATs.
  • I guess i am close to the resolution. on ARS console, i do see "the secondary owner can update member list" selected. may b ethat setting is bringing back the permissions. if this is confirmed to be the resolution , what is the job that makes syncs to AD every day at 4am? My collector scrip runs weekly.. any pointers to how this daily sync happens? any explanation?
