Configure the Group Redirect Web Part

Knowledge Base Overview

When you create a KB Admin site, Bamboo adds a hidden Group Redirect web part to the home page. You can configure this so that when users who do not have access to manage lists and libraries within the Admin site will be automatically redirected to the KB Client site. Configuring Group Redirect is optional. If you do not want to use Group Redirect, you can delete the web part from the page. Also note that if you are redirecting users based solely on their membership within a SharePoint group, you do not need to provide any Active Directory information. Group Redirect enables security trimming for the KB Admin site. This is an optional step that allows Knowledge Base Administrators to prevent end users from accessing the KB Admin site.

However, if you want any of your rules criteria (including AND/OR rules) to include Active Directory groups, you must provide login information. If you are redirecting users based on their membership within an Active Directory group, the Group Redirectweb part requires access to an Active Directory account – this is how Group Redirect determines who is redirected and who is not.

End users who attempt to access the KB Admin site will automatically be redirected back to the KB Client site.

To configure the Group Redirect Web Part:

From the KB Admin site, select Site Actions > Edit Page.

Edit the hidden Bamboo Group Redirect Web Part and enter an Active Directory domain account:

Step	Column Name	Description
1.	Domain Name	A domain name would be something like domain.local or company.internal.
2.	Account Name	The account name would be a admin account that can review rules and redirect users who do not have access to the KB Admin site.
3.	Password	This is the administrator’s password.
4.	Set the rules for the Redirect Rules Criteria:	Choose Is or Not depending on whether you want the group you add to be included or excluded from the redirect. For example, if you select Is + SP Group + [Site] Visitors, then the [Site] Visitors SharePoint group will be redirected away from the KB Admin site. If you select Not for this same criteria, then all other groups except the [Site] Visitors will be redirected to the KB Client site. Select SP Group or AD Group from the drop down and choose the group to be included in the rule. To add more groups, click Add More Groups and select AND to include everyone within both groups or OR to include anyone in either group.
5.	Redirect to: Enter the site URL for the KB Client site. Or, choose None for the group, then enter “./” in the Redirect to field to provide the relative path.	Users who do not have permission to view the KB Admin site will be redirected to the KB Client site.
6.	Click Add More Criteria to add additional criteria rules, if desired.	Click Apply and then OK to save your changes.
