All in One View: Entra ID and AD Groups on a single platform with IDM-Portal 5.1
Typically, managing groups in Entra ID and Active Directory requires different systems or interfaces. This can be unwieldy and may lead to misconfigurations. With IDM-Portal 5.1, this process is significantly simplified. The platform allows administrators to efficiently manage group management across both systems in a clear and centralized manner. This eliminates the need to switch between multiple tools.
Additionally, changes to group memberships or permissions are synchronized in real time. This means users gain immediate access to relevant resources without delays caused by manual synchronizations.
Advanced Features for Group Management
The new features introduced in IDM-Portal 5.1 provide numerous possibilities to make administrators’ work easier:
-
Customizing Group Policies: Administrators can now define detailed policies for Entra ID and AD groups simultaneously. For example, rules can be set to automatically add certain users to a group.
-
Process Automation: Routine tasks related to group management, such as creating or updating groups, can be automated to save time.
-
Permission Management: With just a few clicks, administrators can check which permissions are assigned to a group—an essential factor for security audits.
Unified User Experience
A highlight of the IDM-Portal 5.1 is the intuitive user interface and thus the possibility of delegation. The integration of Entra ID and Active Directory is reflected not only technically but also visually. Administrators work in a unified environment where all relevant information is clearly presented. This reduces onboarding time and simplifies usage, even for less experienced users.
Focus on Security and Compliance
In times of increased security requirements, compliance plays a crucial role. IDM-Portal 5.1 helps administrators ensure adherence to company policies.
Further Optimizations
With the latest version 5.1, extensive backend optimizations have been implemented, resulting in noticeable improvements in application speed and performance. By combining both systems into a single platform, companies can streamline their processes while simultaneously enhancing security.
