Can someone help me with how can I streamline access rights and permissions for new employees joining the workspace, ensuring they’re appropriately granted access without delays or errors?
see. So, with Parallel RAS, you’re dealing with a remote access solution, right? The good news is that you can set up a pretty smooth process by automating roles and permissions through the built-in features. Have you looked into using Group Policies or AD (Active Directory) integration?
I haven’t dug too deep into that yet. But I’m familiar with Active Directory. Are you suggesting I should tie the user access in Parallel RAS to AD groups?
Exactly! The great thing about AD integration is that it can automate user group assignments. You can set up user groups in AD for different roles—like “HR,” “IT,” “Sales”—and then map those groups to corresponding access policies in Parallel RAS. That way, when a new employee joins, they’re automatically placed in the right AD group, and their permissions are assigned without you needing to manually configure anything.
So, once they’re in the right AD group, Parallel RAS will automatically apply the correct permissions for that role?
Yep! You can link the AD groups to specific RAS access rights, like what resources they can access, what applications they can launch, and what kind of permissions they get. It simplifies everything since the system knows how to apply those based on the group they’re in.
That sounds perfect. But what if an employee needs access to something outside of their regular role? Like a special project or a temporary access request?
For those cases, you could set up temporary access or use “exception groups.” You can add employees to special groups in AD for just that temporary access period, and then remove them once they no longer need it. You can automate the removal with scripts or even set expiration policies.
Nice, so I could give them elevated access just for a set amount of time, and then it would auto-expire?
Exactly! And Parallel RAS allows you to configure access based on specific time windows too. You can define when users have access, so it fits well with your temporary access needs.
Awesome! I think this will definitely make onboarding new employees much smoother and more efficient. Thanks for the help!
No problem! Setting this up will save you a lot of time and reduce errors. Let me know if you need help with any specific configuration steps in Parallel RAS.
