Manually Configuring Privileges

March 7, 2010

The manual process for provisioning poses a huge challenge for today’s businesses. Believe it or not, most companies still use manual processes to provision access rights to users.

Step 1  First, when an employee is hired, a new user profile is created and stored in an HR database.

Step 2 A request for access is created.

Step 3  The user profile is compared to a company’s role-authorization policies.

Step 4  The request is then routed for the necessary approval, and

Step 5  Sent to the IT department if approval is granted.

Step 6  Finally, the IT department submits the approved request to various system administrators to provision user access rights.

Step 7  The user is provisioned and the approval is recorded in a history file.

 

Key Point:  Manual provisioning can take up to 12 days or more for each user.

Why, you know why fix it … It’s lost time, lost productivy and lost Revenue !!!!
