UMRA: User Account Management Software |
|
---|---|
Automation of the management of Active Directory user accounts with UMRA account management software ensures that employees can be productive far earlier. The complexity of active directory user account management is directly proportional to the size of the organization in question. The larger the organization, the more complex the management of user accounts. Systems administrators face multifaceted procedures associated with user account management across numerous systems and applications deployed by multiple users and departments. On occasion, new employees have already started their duties prior to a user account being requested. There is no proper overview of the privileges and applications employees need to perform their duties effectively, or the overview is limited in scope. Although additional privileges and access to applications are requested, they are seldom assigned. Also, in some instances, when employees leave the organization, their user accounts are left active for months on end, creating a security risk. Automation of the management of Active Directory user accounts with UMRA account management software ensures that employees can be productive far earlier. Without automated procedures, creating a new active directory user account will take 20 minutes on average. With UMRA, this will only take 2 to 3 minutes. This also applies to editing, updating and removing user accounts. Users will have direct access to the relevant resources and are able to start work immediately and IT staff, who were previously burdened with user management tasks, can be assigned to more business-critical projects. |
