SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM)

To be able to manage and report file server permissions. And also I would like to automate AD user account settings.

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.

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.

SolarWinds ARM is used for the self service platform and the automation of access rights on File Server.

Managing and auditing access rights in our organization with SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM) it's simply easier, much faster, and also safe!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nothing to describe here. We only use it for File server Permissions and reports. No automated process was wanted by our Management

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.

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.

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.
