Many directories set ACIs that allow users to add or remove themselves from groups. This is useful, for example, for allowing users to add and remove themselves from mailing lists. The following sample ACI enables all employees to add themselves to any group entry under the ou=social committee subtree:
aci: (targettattr="member")(version 3.0; acl "Group Members"; allow (selfwrite) (userdn= "ldap:///uid=*,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com") ;)
This example assumes that the ACI is added to the ou=social committee, dc=example,dc=com entry.
