Reduce Costs and Ensure Compliance by Automating all Aspects of User Provisioning
CROSS-PLATFORM ROLE-BASED USER PROVISIONING


Real-time Support for Multiple Existing Sources of User Identity
Avatier Account Creator's virtual directory capabilities connects in real-time to allow administrators to browse, search, export or report on multiple, existing sources of user identities without requiring user data centralization, synchronization, or migration.   Avatier Account Creator can also leverage single authoritative user data sources like Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS).

Federated Role-based User Provisioning (RBAC Model)
Organizations can easily create delegated role-based user provisioning templates by using real-time advance searches for user objects that already exist across your directory, database, legacy, and application infrastructure based on any combination of LDAP directory fields.

Enforces Advanced User Provisioning Naming Conventions
Only Avatier Account Creator is flexible enough to allow administrators to set granular naming rules based on end user's first, middle, and last names. It even controls  case sensitivity at the character level.  Additionally, it supports dynamic rules for when a duplicate account names are discovered during the user provisioning process.  Avatier Account Creator has built-in unique auto naming rules across all systems for the following user properties:

1. User Account

2. Full Name

3. Home Directory

4. SMTP Address

5. Microsoft Pre-Windows 2000

6. Microsoft Exchange Alias

7. Microsoft Exchange Display Name

8. Microsoft Home Share

9. Microsoft Terminal Services Home Directory

10. Citrix Home Directory

Dynamic or Scheduled Compliance and Security Auditing Reports
At a moments notice, security auditors can run a real-time audit report and export data based on the following criteria:

• Between start and end dates
• Delegated or self-service user account name
• Target system user account name
• Source IP address
• By product name
• Over 100 specific success and failure actions

Additionally, a real-time report can be run against existing source of user identities as well as any field in a LDAP directory and exported to a .CSV file for quick seamless integration with Microsoft Excel.   Avatier Account Terminator supports a real-time and scheduled cross-platform orphan account discovery report.  Centralized auditing and scheduled transaction reports captures "who did what to whom, and when" for every transaction and stores categorized results to a central logging database.  Reports can be filtered and displayed in real-time through a web interface.  The auditing system can optionally write to Microsoft SQL, and the reports can be exported to various standard formats.
These reports can be scheduled hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly.

Prevent Directory Pollution
With Avatier Account Creator user property list like, department, title, manager, city, address, and more are pulled from existing populated data stored in your organization's primary directory.  Delegated administrators cannot enter dirty data that is has not been previously approved and populated.

Advanced Home Directory and Home Share Management
Avatier Account Creator user templates delivers unmatched home directory management by allowing administrators to control settings like:

• Inherit permissions from parent directory

• Assign end-user either full control or change access to their home directory or Microsoft home share

• Assign full control over the end user's home directory or Microsoft home share to specific users

• Copy source user's directory structure

• Copy source user's files

• Set a prefix and suffix on Microsoft home shares

• Hide a Microsoft home share upon user provisioning

Advanced Microsoft Exchange 2003/2000 Mailbox Management
Avatier Account Creator user templates automates Microsoft Exchange 2003/2000 Mailbox management by by allowing administrators to control settings like the ones listed below for various departments or physical locations:

• Microsoft Exchange Site

• Microsoft Exchange Server

• Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Store

• Automatically hide and unhide mailbox when user account is disabled or enabled

Guaranteed User Provisioning
Ensures user accounts are provisioned even if the target host is initially or momentarily unreachable by queuing and retrying every transaction until complete or when the queue time expires.

Retry Notification
System administrators and delegated administrators are automatically emailed when a transaction is queued, when it completes, or when the maximum queue time expires.

Parallel Platform Processing
Requests are sent to all cross-platform target systems concurrently to reduce the total time for completing user provisioning.

Customizable ROI Reports
Generate executive management ROI reports based on existing cost of provisioning a user account, setting up home directory, and mailbox. Select date range, monetary unit, and run the report in real time or at scheduled intervals.

Integrates with Leading Help Desk Ticketing Systems

Built-In Support for Email Alerts
Avatier Account Creator can send alerts configured to warn staff on the following events:

• Account Created Success or Failure

• Home Directory Created Success or Failure

• Microsoft Home Share Created Success or Failure

• Mailbox Created Success or Failure

Database Free User Repository Design
Why is not requiring a master user identity and property database important?

1. More reliable to access the data source in real-time than to access a consolidated user repository that might be corrupt or not fully synchronized.  Real-time querying of user accounts across systems guarantees that the provisioning system has established good communication channels to target systems prior to provisioning a user.
    

2. Less to manage by avoiding scheduling nightly or hourly tasks to synchronize your consolidated user repository.
    

3. Better scalability is achieved by not needing to copy user objects from several yellow page directories to make one master repository of user objects.
    

4. Faster Rollout by leveraging your existing investments more efficiently than requiring an ongoing initialization and synchronization process to be run before the system can be deployed or utilized.
