Access Management - Product
AD
(Active Directory)
Microsoft’s system for managing company users, computers and access
What's it for?
Helps organisations manage staff accounts, computers and access to Microsoft-based workplace systems.
For example…
A new laptop joins the domain; AD policies set disk encryption, password rules, and which file shares the user can open.
When an employee leaves, their AD account is disabled so they can no longer sign into the office network or shared drives
Think of it like…
The staff register and key cupboard for a physical office building, kept on site
