Use case – delegation of Active Directory management
The correct management of users and groups in Microsoft Active Directory is a key security criterion in IT administration.
Although its importance, this task is oftentimes perceived as tedious and time-consuming.
The PowerShell Active Directory module makes things easier for IT administrators by enabling them to perform various tasks and processes based on scripts.
With ScriptRunner, you can now even delegate these kinds of tasks securely to administrators without PowerShell knowledge, help desk staff and endusers.
