This article explains the process steps to delegate Active Directory permissions to the Centrify Cloud Connector service to perform password reset actions for end users. By default, the connector service is started using the Local System account of the host running the connector service. Administrators can choose to use and configure a service account with the proper permissions to perform password reset actions or manually delegate password reset permissions to the connector host.

For additional information on required service account permissions, please refer to the online help section: Permissions required for alternate accounts and organizational units.
