Hitachi ID Group Manager Releases
Hitachi ID Group Manager
Hitachi ID Group Manager is a self-service solution that enables business users to manage security groups.
Security groups are used by systems and applications to determine what a user has access to. For example, in a Windows environment, user membership in Active Directory groups determines what shares, folders, printers, e-mail distribution lists and other network resources a user can access.
While IT staff generally understand security groups, most business users do not. This makes the interaction between business users and IT staff slow and frustrating for both parties.
The Group Manager user interface enables business users to request things they understand (e.g., access files on a given folder or send documents to a given printer). Group Manager automatically identifies the groups a user would require to perform the desired action and submits an appropriate workflow request to the appropriate group owner or other authorizer, asking for the relevant group membership.
Group Manager improves user service, reduces IT support cost and delay and ensures that group membership is appropriately authorized before being granted.
