The flexibility of today’s working world requires a well thought-through user provisioning process. Whether for a new user, a short-term assignment, department changes or temporary projects, the expectations of an IT group are to accurately and quickly provision users while helping to maintain data security.
IT departments are typically responsible for securing a network, managing access to resources and keeping an overview of permissions and access rights policies. Therefore, they should use a provisioning framework. SolarWinds® Access Rights Manager (ARM) is designed to help address the user provisioning process across three phases – joiners, movers and leavers. Administrators can use ARM to quickly identify who can view which data and adjust access rights if necessary. To simplify the administration of access rights, an optional self-service portal can be used, which allows employees to request authorizations quickly and easily. With ARM, user management processes can be automated, access rights can be optimized and, ultimately, data protection can be improved. Thanks to ARM, the allocation processes always remain transparent and clear.
