Leveraging powerful automation, NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator, Advanced Edition helps you:

- Consistently adhere to security process.
- Audit and report on user and administrative activity.
User Provisioning and De-Provisioning
To maintain a safe and productive business environment, IT organizations are constantly tasked with granting access to critical applications, data stores and systems. Responding to provisioning requests can be time and resource consuming and result in unauthorized access to critical data if the correct process is not followed.
NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator, Advanced Edition automates the creation, modification and deletion of user accounts, which helps you to more quickly on-board new employees, adjust access needs as roles change and retire user accounts that no longer require access to critical data.
User and Group Self-Service
As the organization increasingly relies on IT to facilitate business, it is important that the business maintain ownership and responsibility for critical data and assets.
NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator, Advanced Edition shifts the responsibility of asset ownership and protection from the IT staff to the asset owner by enabling them to grant, restrict and review access and update and maintain certain information. Automation helps ensure that all steps in the process are captured and stored in audit logs for forensics and attestation as necessary.
Maintenance
Performing routine maintenance, such as removing stale accounts in Active Directory, is necessary to maintain a healthy operating environment. However, with the increasing demands on IT staff, maintenance is often neglected, and as a result, unnecessary user and computer accounts can build up over time, leaving your organization vulnerable to abuse of these dormant accounts.
NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator, Advanced Edition can query stale or inactive accounts and automate the clean-up process while automatically incorporating stakeholder review and approvals. NetIQ solutions help you maintain a productive environment while reducing potential security vulnerabilities by automating common maintenance tasks.
Security and Compliance
Protecting your critical data starts with knowing who can access it. Most compliance mandates focus on enforcing critical data access controls. Whether that data is financial, customer, health or other information, your ability to maintain a secure and compliant business and computing environment is dependent on your ability to control data access and prevent unauthorized access.
NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator, Advanced Edition helps you secure your critical information by automatically forcing review and validation of access to critical assets. In addition, it requires asset owners to sign off that they've reviewed user and group access. NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator, Advanced Edition also can help you reduce the time it takes to resolve a security incident by detecting and automating remediation of unauthorized change.
