GroupID HOW TO Active Directory Groups from Triggering a Heart Attack Download ebook Organizations around the world understand the value of having groups in Active Directory® (AD). In many senses, AD groups are the lifeblood of an organization’s communications and access. Unfortunately, managing these groups has become a significant problem for many enterprises. In fact, up to 60% of businesses report that they do not have a reliable solution for managing AD groups. Not managing groups properly often leads to several problems, from issues like token bloat or group permissioncreep to more severe problems, such as inadequate de-provisioning or security breaches. These problems could eventually clog the arteries of IT organizations, bogging teams down with a barrage of mundane tasks and decreasing productivity. Left unchecked, AD group management might be a potential heart attack waiting to happen. To help prevent such an AD group management heart attack, Imanami prescribes a three-pronged solution: Automation, Self-Service, and Synchronization. GroupID Automate GroupID Automate enables the automation of membership changes in AD groups through roles defined by attributes. Group memberships change with no-touch efficiency. Security breaches are avoided. All of this is done automatically, giving IT more time to focus on other important tasks. GroupID Self-Service GroupID Self-Service authorizes group owners to manage the group’s memberships so that team members can be added or deleted without any IT involvement, while IT retains overall authority and security for AD services. GroupID Synchronize GroupID Synchronize automatically synchronizes the attributes defined in the HR system directly with AD. Changes in employee roles or positions in the HR system are instantly replicated in AD. This process enhances security, because AD user attributes accurately reflect the attributes of the HR system. With a suite of powerful, automated tools, GroupID from Imanami helps your organization adopt and implement mission-critical best practices for managing groups in Active Directory, such as: Clear hierarchies for distribution lists ensure that the right information flows to the right employees. Setting group expiration dates prevents groups from outliving their usefulness. Defining temporary memberships keeps a lid on group permission creep and unauthorized access. The end result is that companies are able to cut costs effectively, enhance security, and increase productivity Download ebook For more information and a free trial or demo, please visit www.imanami.com/personalized-demo Terms & conditions, features, support, pricing and service options subject to change without notice. © 2015 Imanami, Inc.
