RE: Managing User Profiles

Bryan,

Accounting code works really well for me. I use it for the division (2 char), dept (2 char) and the employee ID (9 char). On a daily basis, I output the user profiles to a file as well as the object description which gives me the create date among other things. From that, I can tie to the HR Master to get position, status (exempt, etc.).

I also export our Active Directory info and upload it. We keep employee ID in there too.

Makes it really easy to identify terminated employees on a daily basis.

Since we're in California, we have a LOT of regulation on employees. For example, when we implemented web access for email, it defaulted to enabled for all email accounts. From my uploaded files, I could go in and get a list of non-exempt employees and disable it quite easily (actually built the script via SQL) - We can't have hourly employees using company email on their off-time - it's a labor violation.

Manage profiles by ensuring users have access to only what they need in
order to perform their duties, per auditing requirements; and doing it
efficiently. I'm using the accounting code now but it's limiting.

Job accounting code not getting it for you?

Define "manage" in this context; maybe we can help.
