November 23rd, 2011Big mess solved, at last
November 7th, 2011It has been long time since I have been listening always to the usual complains about the big mess caused by the attempt to reflect and manage own organization using Active Directory groups.
Often Active Directory is used to centralize all the information about authentication and access to the services/resources of a certain network domain.
Problem always arises when the number of such resources becomes so that high that groups are not an handful mean any more. Provisioning, deprovisioning and [business] roles management easily become expensive (in terms of effort and time) and risky (in terms of access permissions) operations.
