Secure networks with sensitive data are always trying to reduce the number of administrators that can operate the network. Adding Help Desk operators, IT staff and other users around the network to administrative-level groups (such as Domain Admins) can open the door to catastrophe if one of those accounts was compromised.
The User Management Resource Administrator can solve this problem by allowing non-administrators to perform management tasks as if they were a real administrator. The Delegation model built into the User Management Resource Administrator functions like an extra layer of security around Active Directory. Users that perform management tasks on the network submit their request through the User Management Resource Administrator, and the task is carried out in the background, on the end-user’s behalf. This protects sensitive data from prying eyes by not giving them direct access to the network or its resources. Plus, building a template-based model for delegation makes it easy to assign tasks to end users because they require no additional permissions for them to carry out the task.
Solutions built on the User Management Resource Administrator appeal to high-security environments due to the ease of use and the built-in model for secure delegation. Many credit unions, banking institutions, and other financial organizations choose the User Management Resource Administrator to automate and streamline their management processes.
