Do you need a way to manage your organization’s business workflow? Are you worried that you don’t have a big enough budget to implement a business workflow in your organization? Well, you’re in luck—we’ve made the ADManager Plus license for workflow requesters unlimited and free. With ADManager Plus, you can start implementing workflows in just six steps.
Step 1: Configure business workflows
Go to the Workflow tab and click Edit Workflow to create a customized business workflow. By default, each workflow has a role involved in its order of execution. When creating a workflow, you can choose whether the order of execution passes through a Reviewer, Approver, or an Executor, with each position adding an additional layer of approval.
Step 2: Create Requester Roles
ADManager Plus’ Workflow feature lets you create and assign Requester Roles. Each role can only perform specific tasks, adding another level of security for your organization. To start creating end-user roles for your workflow, go to the Workflow tab and click Requester Roles.
Step 3: Assign roles to stakeholders
After creating a role, add a new requester or assign one or more roles to an existing help desk technician. To do this, go to the Workflow tab and click Requesters. Using OU-based restriction, you can limit a requester’s scope of designated activities to one or more OUs, i.e., a technician can only create users or reset passwords within their assigned OUs.
Step 4: Create Assigning Rules
Proper rule assignment ensures that a request is automatically assigned to another technician for the next level of approval upon creation. This forms the necessary checks and balances needed to prevent any unauthorized requests from being executed because the request has to pass through a chain of approval. When you’re ready to assign a new rule, go to Assigning Rules and click Add New Rule.
Step 5: Create Notification Rules
Define the rules for sending email and SMS notifications after each step of processing the request, i.e., when a request is created, reviewed, approved, executed, or rejected.
Step 6: Let the requests flow
Requesters can then log in and use the dashboard to raise requests. Based on their assigned roles, requesters can make requests for routine but crucial tasks such as creating users, enabling or disabling users, resetting passwords, gaining group membership, or revoking group membership.
By implementing a business workflow using ADManager Plus, you can:
- Create users simultaneously in Active Directory, Exchange, G Suite, Office 365, and Skype for Business.
- Streamline the involved business processes to reduce the time it takes to perform routine tasks.
- Enhance security by selectively provisioning roles to help desks.
- Create necessary checks and balances while granting permissions and access to resources.
- Eliminate human error to save time and resources.
- Send email or text message notifications to those involved in the workflow process.
