Web-Apps for Admins, Help Desk and End Users
ScriptRunner Portal is the web application for administrators, help desk and end users. Various modules provide easy access to a wide range of features of the ScriptRunner software platform. Access and role in the portal can be provided with AD or Azure AD user accounts.
The Portal Widget seamlessly integrates ScriptRunner Actions with other applications. This allows administrators, help desk and end users to continue working in their familiar environment and use automation with PowerShell invisibly with full functionality.
The integrated role model controls access to the individual functions and modules for the different user groups. When entering the portal, an overview of the modules available to the user is displayed.
Help desk and end users enter the portal directly in the module for executing Actions. Administrators can access different feature sets in the modules depending on their administrative role. In addition, the portal provides direct access to ScriptRunner online resources and support.
User login can be done via the internal Active Directory account or the Azure AD account.
ScriptRunner actions are the core of automation with PowerShell. To execute actions interactively, administrators, help desk and end users use the Actions module.
Executable Actions available to the user can be displayed as tiles or in a list. User-definable tabs and search make it easy to keep things organized.
Administrators can control and organize the display of Actions for different user groups. Customizable colors and a selection of over 2,000 icons enable user-defined design of the Action tiles. The included branding options allow the portal to be adapted to the corporate design.
When clicking on an Action tile, ScriptRunner automatically generates an input form from the underlying PowerShell script.
The form fields support all attributes and validations for PowerShell input parameters. ScriptRunner queries can be used to generate dynamic drop-down lists for convenient selection of items.
The live output function is available to administrators and help desk. In addition to tracking a single Action, it is possible to switch between simultaneously running Actions and the individual outputs.
The results of script execution and HTML reports generated with it are displayed directly in the portal.
The Reporting Module allows a quick drill-down to the results and reports of the executed Actions.
In the dashboard, administrators and help desk can filter for example by Actions with incorrect result, time span or specific Actions. The bar chart shows the filtered Actions with execution time and status.
Selecting a report opens the display for the details of console history, result display as well as generated HTML report. With the export functions, the information can be further used outside ScriptRunner.
With ScriptRunner and PowerShell, a wide variety of tasks and activities can be automated.
It is important for every IT team and IT manager to know which efficiency gains are actually achieved with automation.
The Statistics Module offers the possibility to visualize these savings. For each Action, it is possible to store how much time is saved by the automation for this activity per run. In the Statistics Module, the time and cost savings can be displayed for a defined period of time and the data can be exported for further processing.
