Azure AD DS Delegation

Hello Experts,

Got confused with Delegation that we do in OnPrem AD vs Azure AD DS.

Item#1 - I have created few Sec groups and users as members. Can I then delegate these groups and separately given Domain Join/Password reset/Manage GPOs rights on OUs (which will be created)?

Item#2- I do have synched objects from OnPrem and understand these objects cannot modify as no synch back to Onprem.

Would like to know Item#1 is possible & Item#2 understanding is correct.

If Item#1 possible, how would the sec group user (IT helpdesk) connect the domain, read that only those part of AAD DC Admins can access domain through RSAT. so whoever part of this Admins group naturally gets all rights, isnt any way to control.

My end goal, IT helpdesk connect to Domain and manage new OU with their rights.

Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    Item#1 - I have created few Sec groups and users as members. Can I then delegate these groups and separately given Domain Join/Password reset/Manage GPOs rights on OUs (which will be created)?

    Yes it possible to delegate a user or a group to perform a additional actions , like reset password , join computer to domain, ect ....

    Would like to know Item#1 is possible & Item#2 understanding is correct.

    If the user account is created in onprem active directory, Azure Ad connect which ensure the synchronization between onprem and azure active directory will synchronize this object and create new object .
    We cannot modify the new object created on onprem active directory and synchronized by azure ad connect,only in onprem active directory administration tools.

    If Item#1 possible, how would the sec group user (IT helpdesk) connect the domain, read that only those part of AAD DC Admins can access domain through RSAT. so whoever part of this Admins group naturally gets all rights, isnt any way to control.
    My end goal, IT helpdesk connect to Domain and manage new OU with their rights.

    It hepldesk can install RSAT tools on their workstation to manage active directory and GPO.

    They can also use a members servers ans install administration tools to manage active directory and GPO
