I would like to make some powershell scripts available to end users in some kind of GUI.
For example, list all the AD groups, allow to pick one and display all members.
Allow to add or remove a member. Etc.
Is there a simple way of doing it? Can it be done in a browser? MSC? Do I have to create a whole custom GUI?
Are there any templates available? Any examples?
Power GUI is nice, but there is no way to limit what users can do. I only want them to work with the scripts I publish.

I posted something here about PowerShellASP back in July, but I didn't think that would do what you are asking. I thought you wanted something more GUI-like than HTML pages. I've used PowershellASP for a few projects and I like it. If you already know HTML or Visual Studio web projects, it's almost too simple.

Being an admin, not a developer, I am looking for something easier or at least some examples with step by step instructions. Another thing I found is PoshBoard:

I'll check it out today.

You might find something on the PowerShell tools page:

You can create your own Windows forms with a PowerShell script and tie PowerShell code to different controls like buttons.
