Practical Example – Permissions
Changing permissions on directories or files is a permanent task, e.g. as part of onboarding or by changing departments. However, these are tasks that can be completed more quickly by the service desk or the specialist department. Unfortunately, security requirements stand in your way.
If the Service Desk or the specialist departments themselves could adjust the authorizations, you would be helped a lot. Optimally, this should be done without administrative rights and only for directories that fall under their responsibility – comprehensible and transparent.
You want the service desk or a department representative to manage permissions on directories, file and printer sharing, and files. No administrative rights to the storage systems and resources should be required.
ScriptRunner allows the secure delegation of tasks with PowerShell scripts. The execution of the scripts is controlled by guidelines. Customizable scripts for managing permissions on directories, files, and file and printer sharing are available in the Action Packs for File & Storage Management – or you can use the PowerShell libraries for your storage system, whether NetApp, Dell EMC, or others. Additional functions for selecting users, groups and rights provide for a comfortable application.
You can now securely delegate daily changes to user rights to authorized third parties. The tasks are completed faster and more efficiently. You are relieved of routine tasks. You achieve a high level of security in controlling access to files through improved timeliness and fewer errors.
