Universities, community and state colleges along with K-12 school districts are all moving towards a centralized networking platform to allow staff, teachers and students to get their work done. Controlling access to the network requires secure user accounts to be issued to every user of the network, allowing them to log in and access the resources they need. Assigning the right security for the right users is a challenge met by Help Desk operators, technicians and administrators everywhere.
To address these concerns, the User Management Resource Administrator can apply a standardized template to accounts that are managed in Active Directory. Each template contains a list of steps that would normally be performed by an end-user manually, but will be executed by the User Management Resource Administrator instead. This ensures that any special or non-standard practices are applied to the user, regardless of the environment or organization. This allows administrators to define a consistent process for managing accounts and ensure that each task is carried out without error.
With large amounts of turnover, school administrators constantly have to delete and create user accounts to handle the current student enrollment. Being able to accelerate this task of creating and editing new users, as well as deleting old users with their resources, can save any school considerable amounts of valuable time. The User Management Resource Administrator can import CSV files or network information and process them in bulk, reducing the time spent by a large factor.
