One of the biggest identity management issues for NHS IT teams is the management of joiners, movers and leavers within Active Directory and email messaging platforms.
Directory Manager provides direct integration with Electronic Staff Record (ESR) and the Directory Manager web portal to capture identity information that is used to automate handling of joiners, movers and leavers. Through the configuration of business rules, the software makes Active Directory and email account creation, update and expiration as simple as pushing a button.
Directory Manager’s ‘Core Service’ includes:
• ESR integration and web portal account request management
• Active Directory starter, changes and leaver management
• Group membership management
• User home and profile folder management
• Mailbox management for Exchange or NHSmail
