  • A graphic says more than 1000 words. In this way one can best represent and understand the relationships in AD. You can browse through the interactive graphics and thus "experience" the AD directly.
  • Using the intelligent iSearch search, you can find a wide variety of objects and get started straight into the work. All objects from the AD and the structures on the included file servers are indexed. It can not be faster!
  • The relationship between the resource and the existing permission types can be used to directly represent effective permissions. The advantage lies in the cross-group evaluation. All nested groups from the AD are resolved.
  • This question comes regularly: "What can Mr. X access?". To fathom this is a real challenge. Not so with 8MAN. Evaluations of the complete systems in your home can be carried out within seconds. This is just one of the rich reporting capabilities of 8MAN!
  • With 8MAN you can see all relevant key figures, such as: For example, the number of user accounts, permission groups, OUs, directories, and so on. These metrics can also be helpful in analyzing your entire entitlement situation and can show deviations from an optimal entitlement structure.
  • For an optimized administration of the authorizations it is important to limit the possibilities and to standardize the processes. This is exactly how the "Administration Screen" of 8MAN is structured. It can be adapted exactly to your processes and methods and thus simplifies the administration. It is even possible to make these Screen DataOwners available so that they can administrate themselves. Administration via 8MAN simplifies the process enormously. The admin or helpdesk employee only defines the changes. All technical requirements are made by 8MAN: Creating groups, packing users into groups and authorizing the groups. Even list groups are generated and every single step is documented auditable.
  • The trainee effect is now known. Permissions are forgiven but it is forgotten to withdraw them. With 8MAN, you can define a time when you want to resolve a group membership or privilege at the same time.

    However, during our search we did not know that it was a software solution
    with which Windows permissions can also be changed. In this
    Interaction between overview and administration, there is nothing comparable on the market
    to 8MAN.

    After switching from Novell File System to MS NTFS, the listing problems were raised. 8MAN manages this without additional admin intervention, directly if you assign rights to a subdirectory. In addition, the documentation of who, when, what really succeeded in the logbook. We would recommend 8MAN at any time!

    Since 3 I work with 8MAN. 8MAN is an integral part of user and authorization maintenance in AD.

    Authorization management on large file systems on several file servers of different business areas can not be provided by Microsoft on board. It does not work.
    Without 8MAN you can only pray that nothing goes wrong. With 8MAN suddenly light is in the dark and everything becomes transparent. Error analysis is suddenly en passant.
    How the whole thing scales is a miracle. Apparently it works - but hardly anyone can.
    And the update mechanism is idiot-proof. Since admin-flavor is lost, because everyone can. So everything is round. Really Alternative.
