Hello Experts,

I have a query as I want to deploy section access in an application on NTNAME and for Domain is it possible to use ".\" .

I.e Is it possible to write .\\FERHA.SHARMA in section access.

Thanks in advance

Yes, but not with a double-backslash. A double backslash represents the root of azn UNC path and is not a DOMAIN-USERACCOUNT separator.

However, while you can use .\ to refer to the local domain, please keep in mind that you are working with security here. And shortcuts are never a good idea in a security context. I would say: don't do it.
