Active Directory Provisioning automates the process of creating, updating, and removing user accounts in third-party applications using API endpoints. miniOrange's automated User Provisioning feature seamlessly integrates with Active Directory to provision all user identities automatically, saving time and managing access privileges throughout the user lifecycle.
Bi-directional and automatic user provisioning and de-provisioning actions enhance security by removing access to sensitive applications and content when an employee leaves or changes roles. This improves your organization's security profile.
Automatic Provisioning saves time when setting up new users and teams, and also manages access privileges through the user lifecycle. It is considered as a part of user lifecycle management. miniOrange can create, read, and update user accounts for new or existing users, remove accounts for deactivated users, and synchronize attributes across multiple user stores and the applications that the user needs access to.
Active Directory Deprovisioning means deleting a user and removing their access from multiple applications and network systems at once. Automatic Deprovisioning action is triggered when an employee leaves a company or changes roles within the organization. The deprovisioning features increase your organization's security profile by removing access to sensitive applications and content from people who leave your organization.
