All companies use groups, whether it's to keep users and contacts in
distribution lists or to provide a mechanism for granting access to network
resources, applications and data.
However, research has shown that for a high percentage of companies the
management and administration of these groups is a manual task, typically
undertaken by a centralised team of IT administrators.
Automatic Group Management
What could be simpler and more reliable than automating the creation and
membership of your standard security groups and distribution lists? By doing
this your company is confident that the groups being automatically managed are
always maintained and always up to date, with no users being granted access to
data or applications they shouldn't have and with no employees or external
contacts receiving group emails they shouldn't be reading.
Imanami's GroupID 5.0 'Automate' module is
the easiest and most reliable method for automatic group management.
Manual Group Management and Self Service
Most companies struggle to keep their directory data up to date and
holding the correct information, which makes finding the correct people and the
correct resources increasingly difficult, often resulting in security lapses or
worse.
By using Imanami's GroupID 5.0 'Self Service'
solution companies can not only empower users to maintain their own directory
data but this can be done safely and securely whilst also guaranteeing the
integrity of the data entered, through the use of drop down selection boxes or
workflow approvals - or both of course!
Additionally, Self Service allows users to create and manage their own groups,
whether security or distribution groups. These may be created as public,
semi-public, private or semi-private group types and can be used to accurately
target data and application access, and are hugely successful in SharePoint
environments for targetting portal data at the correct user communities. |
