Get All the Groups for A Users

Posted on June 26, 2016July 6, 2016 by Alan

Every admin has gotten the question, “What group is that user in which granted him those permissions?” I have combined a few scripts to create a list of all of a user’s groups, and included the nesting of groups memberships.  Get-ADGroupMemberships.ps1 is based on a script by I.C.A. Strahan, here. My version adds information about whether a group is a security group, and displays the full SamAccountName for the group, including the domain. For speed, I used NameTranslate for this information, instead of binding to each group for the information.

Included is a function Get-AllSecurityGroupsForUser, which is based on Get-AllGroupsForUser, found in comments below this post in the Hey Scripting Guy Forum.  This is an extraordinarily fast way to get all of the security groups for a user.

Please Note

All the scripts are saved as .txt files. Newer files have a “View Script” button which will let you save or open a script in notepad. For earlier posts, the easiest way to download with IE is to right click on the link and use “Save Target As”. Rename file from Name_ext.txt to Name.ext.

PowerShell Scripts were written with version 3 or later.

All new users accounts must be approved, as are comments. Please be patient.  If you find a post error or a script which doesn’t work as expected, I appreciate being notified.  My email is my first name at the domain name, and you are welcome to contact me that way.
