SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM)

We make use of Access Rights Manager in our organization for the provisioning of new user accounts, determining folder permissions for all our shared files/folders on our file/print server, as well as administration for our various security/distribution groups (for example listing all groups which are empty) This has made the tasks of creating new user accounts or group management so much easier, and less time-consuming.

• Because it's cut down on the mistakes and time lost creating new user accounts, this has meant there is a reduction in tickets relating to changes needing to be made to user accounts. Whether this was the incorrect spelling of the name, or the need to add/remove security groups. With ARM now doing the user creation along with the templates we've created, this has dramatically cut down the number of support tickets regarding user accounts, meaning our team now has more time to tend to other pending tickets.

To be able to manage and report file server permissions. And also I would like to automate AD user account settings.

• Helped me to report who has what permissions on file server
• Helped me to audit and get alerted to massive file deletion. But the alert doesn't work as it is expected.
• Helped me to audit user locks. But alert doesn't work as it is expected.

We are new to ARM and already have other SolarWinds products that we use. So far it has been working well for our needs. We are still trying to set up the SMTP portion to get automated AD reports via email. It has also helped immensely in helping us discover where the nested shares are in our clients' folder structure systems. One suggestion would be to offer some training during the implementation process. While the application is quite intuitive, it would add to a better implementation experience.

• Saves us time with monthly AD reports.
• Allows us an effective tool to address the issue of nested shares and standardizing folder permissions.

We're using ARM to manage our Active Directory and File services. In addition too that we periodically need our users to reevaluate the access permissions on their resources, especially team leaders or managers. It is our main tool to make changes in the AD (all fileserver permissions are managed by security groups in the AD). One important feature is the documentation of who made what. We must make annual reports about our work and this documentation to a public institution.

• It made [the] administrator's daily work more comfortable.
• It is now possible to document all changes we make.
• It gives our users the possibility to control their resources more easily.
