Self Service Password Reset
Reduce Help Desk calls and improve security with Thycotic Self-Service Password Reset and AD Group Management
WHAT’s the challenge
Managing user password changes, forgotten password resets, and changes to Active Directory groups can be an extremely time-consuming task, especially with remote users. They take up valuable time that could be devoted to more important tasks.
WHY it’s important
Password resets require Help Desk resources on routine tasks, proving costly and inefficient for IT teams. AD group membership easily becomes out of date with changing employees, and burdens IT when department leaders often understand group membership best.
HOW we solve it
