Using the Send Claims Using a Custom Rule template in Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), you can create custom claim rules for situation in which a standard rule template is not sufficient for the needs of your organization. Custom claim rules are written in the claim rule language and must then be copied into the Custom rule text box before they can be used in a rule set. For information about constructing the syntax for an advanced rule, see The Role of the Claim Rule Language.

You can use the following procedure to create a claim rule with the AD FS Management snap-in.

Membership in Administrators, or equivalent, on the local computer is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).
