SYNTAX

Get-DomainManagedSecurityGroup [[-Domain] <String>] [-SearchBase <String>] [-Server <String>]
 [-SearchScope <String>] [-ResultPageSize <Int32>] [-ServerTimeLimit <Int32>] [-Tombstone]
 [-Credential <PSCredential>]

DESCRIPTION

Authority to manipulate the group membership of AD security groups and distribution groups can be delegated to non-administrators by setting the 'managedBy' attribute. This is typically used to delegate management authority to distribution groups, but Windows supports security groups being managed in the same way.

This function searches for AD groups which have a group manager set, and determines whether that user can manipulate group membership. This could be a useful method of horizontal privilege escalation, especially if the manager can manipulate the membership of a privileged group.
