Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
To be able to manage and report file server permissions. And also I would like to automate AD user account settings.
- File server permissions management
- File server audits and alerts
- Alert types and settings are not sufficient and there are lots of bugs

Solid tool for daily use
We're using ARM to manage our Active Directory and File services. In addition too that we periodically need our users to reevaluate the access permissions on their resources, especially team leaders or managers. It is our main tool to make changes in the AD (all fileserver permissions are managed by security groups in the AD). One important feature is the documentation of who made what. We must make annual reports about our work and this documentation to a public institution.
- Manage Active Directory Users and Groups
- User creation using templates and automation
- Documentation of changes
- You cannot create organizational units in the AD with it.
- Automation and templates need knowledge of JSON and are not intuitive.
- Deleted folders cannot automatically delete from recertification as well.

Best IAM tool on a budget for SMB
We use SolarWinds Access Rights Manager [(ARM)] across the entire organization. It was primarily put in place to meet audit requirements when granting access to AD groups, file shares and onboarding or offboarding user accounts. We also just began to use the reconciliation feature as it is now available for AD groups.
- Very good integration with Active Directory
- Tracking changes made in Active Directory
- Approvals for access to different group memberships
- Helps us to improve our processes
- The emails generated could be improved, a little HTML or RTF goes a long way to readability
- The UI was designed by a coder, would be better to have some usability testing done.
- Better integration with non AD applications
- no training
Yes
Upgrade went smoothly but search broke in the current release. A big deal for end users.
SolarWinds ARM is used for the self service platform and the automation of access rights on File Server.
- Automation
- Reporting
- Ease of installation and upgrade
- Level of access should be different in the Self Service portal, depending on where you want access
- Support is not the greatest I've seen

SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM) Review
We make use of Access Rights Manager in our organization for the provisioning of new user accounts, determining folder permissions for all our shared files/folders on our file/print server, as well as administration for our various security/distribution groups (for example listing all groups which are empty) This has made the tasks of creating new user accounts or group management so much easier, and less time-consuming.
- New User Creation
- Security group maintenance - eg displaying all groups which are empty.
- visual representation of all security permissions set on shared files/folders on our file/print servers
- The main gripe I have is the process of creating user templates. At present, You have to use a 3rd party addon to create new user account templates. It would be great to have this integrated with ARM as default.

Make sure you have a project in mind before purchasing
We purchased SolarWinds ARM when it was owned by 8Man. We bought it as we were commencing a records management project and it was excellent for reporting on the file permissions assigned to users and groups and for AD management. It worked very well initially and we had excellent support from 8Man.
- Report on file permissions
- Lists actions performed on files by users
- AD management
- Provide reports on accounts in AD
- Licensing model when we changed over to SolarWinds was [I feel] a nightmare. It needs to be more streamlined and SolarWinds needs to understand what their customers require. When we changed over to SolarWinds we found it very hard to get answers to what modules we were still licensed for.
- Our current system is not functioning. We can't login to the application with the accounts we created that were working. The error that appears doesn't help to resolve it. So at present we just renewed licenses for this year and we can't use the system.
SolarWinds Access Rights Manager is used throughout our organisation to manage and inspect access rights to most of the online services we use and to restrict access to only those tools/folders each individual user needs. I use it to visualize all permissions and access to ensure we adhere to the principle of least privileges.
- Auditing a particular use is very simple and clear
- You can generate automated reports for review
- It is easy to set-up
- The user interface is not very modern or fancy
- It does not have a lot of integrations with our identify providers beside Active Directory
- The reports cannot be customised alot

Maximize insight and free up time.
ARM is being used by our IT department mainly for auditing of Active Directory, file server permissions, and Exchange mailbox access. ARM has allowed for visualization of permissions that allow users access to specific resources. Being able to visualize the permissions and access through a single view has been helpful for internal auditing and maintenance purposes. We are currently in the process of developing the custom JSON scripts to allow for one-click provisioning of users.
- Auditing is simplified for user permissions and access to corporate resources. The flow diagrams show which group is granting access.
- Provisioning if user accounts is simplified and standardized along with easy detection of scope creep.
- Developing of a self service password reset portal would make ARM even more critical to our infrastructure.
We are in the process of developing this portion of access rights manager, but preliminary testing shows there is a high probability of the impact being undeniable.

ARM - A tale about Ransomware and Dataowner
Only admins in IT use it. We manage the Dataowner and the Permissions they wanna give to their Users. With ARM we have completely restructured our main File Server and then have redone all of the Permissions based on what the Dataowner wants. We work closely with the Dataowner to make sure everything is set up as they want it.
- Easy to use, drag and drop, permission change with every change made logged
- Generating automated Reports for Dataowners to review
- Log all activity on the File server in case of Breaches or Viruses
- Design - the old 8Man design was more friendly
- I miss to option to create custom "Who has access here" reports. My Dataowners dont need to know where users have List rights
Nothing to describe here. We only use it for File server Permissions and reports. No automated process was wanted by our Management

ARM: For Admins and End-Users
Easy to use and to manage your Microsoft AD environment, FileRights, and AD Objects and Exchange. Perfect to track your AD changes and GPDR. We have been using it for three years now. Perfect German support.
- File Access Rights
- Reporting
- Exchange reporting
- Data owners grant access rights to files and folders.
- Data owners manage group membership.
- Data owner management (reports from data owner changes).
- Exchange access reports
- Recertification overview for admins (which was not recertified until now).
- More webinars needed to get all the function and to get more out of the product.
SolarWinds Access Rights Manager is used by our IT department for the quarterly access reviews for audit purposes. We managed to shave hours off the process of generating the report of who has access to what, and now we can even schedule it—pure automation. That was the main reason for the purchase decision, and now we are using it to see who did what and more.
- SolarWinds Access Rights Manager is easy to set up and configure. We had the first report generated in a few hours.
- The automated feature for the reports is great. We just set it and forget it and now the reports get emailed on schedule.
- One thing I'd like to see is more customization within the reports. Company branding and colors as well as individual items to include or exclude.

Access Right Manager: Give us an a hand and an ARM
We have multiple domains which can be challenging and time-consuming, especially as we have a large staff base of roughly 1500 users. Its currently mainly being used by the service desk team to administer, report and also provide automation against AD accounts and objects. With such a large user base and multiple domains, it was easy to lose track of changes being made with a large amount of IT staff having access to make changes. ARM negates that and also provides a level of automation to assist the service desk.
- Alerts for access and changes to Windows file servers
- Automation
- Reporting aspects
- Regulatory requirements
- Audit changes to active directory and group policy
- The GUI can be misleading at times in terms of what you're actually looking for
- Cumbersome in some places
