Practical Example – Active Directory, Azure AD
It happens almost daily – users have forgotten their password on vacation or have logged in incorrectly too often, so that the user account has been locked. You also have to activate or deactivate ad hoc user accounts again or unlock them just for a period of time. All the smallest tasks that take up your time and are naturally ideal for delegation.
It would be a great relief for you as an administrator if the service desk or the departments could manage the passwords and user accounts themselves. Activating/deactivating user accounts would also be a task for the service desk.
You want to enable the resetting of passwords, the unlocking of user accounts and the activation and deactivation of user accounts for defined periods of time at the push of a button. Representatives of the departments, the service desk or end users can do this immediately without your intervention. No administrative rights to the Active Directory 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 resetting passwords, unlocking users, activating, deactivating and deleting user accounts are included in our ActionPack for Active Directory and Office 365. Additional functions for selecting the user provide a comfortable handling.
“Groundhog Day” is a thing of the past. You can now safely delegate resetting, unlocking, activation and deactivation to authorized third parties. This relieves you and your team of the most boring routine tasks ever. The task is now completed directly and faster.
