Resource-Based Constrained Delegation

RBCD allows the target service to define which identities can be delegated to it.

TopicIT knowledge → About 1 min read

Definition

Resource-based constrained delegation (RBCD) lets a destination resource define which principals may delegate identities to it.

How it works

This configuration relies on permissions stored on the target resource's Active Directory object rather than only the frontend account. Rights to change those permissions are sensitive.

Real-world example

An application-server owner can allow a specific approved frontend to delegate identities to that server without granting broad delegation to other destinations.

Limits and best practices

Monitor delegation-attribute changes, secure machine accounts and restrict write permissions on AD objects. Incorrect delegation can increase lateral-movement risk.
