Abuse ACL access over groups
Use access rights over a group to add users
Permissions in Active Directory are controlled through Access Control Lists (ACL). Each security principal (user, group, process) has a corresponding ACL. ACLs define both who has access to which assets or resource, and what level of access they are granted. ACLs are made up of Access Control Entries (ACE) that explicity allow and/or deny users or groups from access.
If misconfigured, ACLs can be leveraged by attackers to achieve lateral movement or privilege escalation inside the domain. The abuse of ACL access rights are dependent on the specific access granted to the attacking user.
