Using One Identity Active Roles, users can:
Managing accounts in AD and Azure AD can be tremendously challenging; continually keeping these important systems safe and secure presents an even greater challenge. Traditional tools can be inefficient, error-prone, and very disjointed. In today’s robust marketplace, organizations are finding it somewhat difficult to keep pace with the constant access changes in a hybrid AD ecosystem. Additionally, there are significant security issues to consider (government compliance, employee status/access changes, and other confidential business requirements). And, of course, there is a requirement to properly manage Active Directory and Azure Active Directory access in addition to managing all the other numerous SaaS and non-Windows applications that organizations use today.
Users can easily automate all of these tedious, mundane administrative tasks, keeping their systems safe and error-free. Active Roles ensures users can perform their job responsibilities more effectively, more efficiently, and with minimal manual intervention. Active Roles was created with a flexible design, so organizations can easily scale to meet your organizational needs, today, tomorrow, and in the foreseeable future.
Reviews from Real Users
A PeerSpot user who is a Network Analyst at a government tells us, “It has eliminated admin tasks that were bogging down our IT department. Before we started using Active Roles, if one of our frontline staff members deleted a user or group, it could take several hours to try to reverse that mistake. Whereas now, the most our frontline staff can do is a deprovision, which just disables everything in the background, but it's still there. We can go in and have it back the way it was two minutes later. Instead of it taking two hours, it only takes two minutes.”
Becky P., Sr Business Analyst at George Washington University, shares, “In addition, with the use of workflows and the scheduled tasks, we were able to automate and centrally manage a number of the processes as well as utilize them to work around other product limitations. Those include, but are not limited to syncing larger groups, which have 50,000 plus members, to Azure AD. We sync up to Azure AD using ARS. If we had not already had ARS in place, it would have been impossible for us to have done so in the time period we did it in. We did it in under six months. ARS probably saves us at least two weeks out of every month. It's reduced our workload by 50 percent, easily.”

solution architect/ engineer at APEX.IT Sp. z o.o. | 4.5 | One Identity Active Roles streamlines user and group management, offering effective task automation and granular delegation. Improvements since its sale by Dell have enhanced efficiency, user interface, and security. It delivers significant ROI and simplifies directory management with excellent reporting capabilities. |
IAM Specialist | 4.5 | I leverage One Identity Active Roles for enhanced visibility and automation, appreciating its granular control over Active Directory roles. However, the user interface needs modernization. Despite costs, it improves security and efficiency, integrating well with our existing solutions. |
Head of Global Digital Identity Services at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I primarily use One Identity Active Roles for Active Directory delegation within our organization. It offers granular permissions and web-based management but needs improvements in Entra ID delegation and license management. CoreView offers better Entra ID features. |
IAM Product owner at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I use One Identity Active Roles for delegating Active Directory administration, valuing its access templates and policies for security and standardization. However, improvements are needed in the web interface, API accessibility, and performance. The estimated ROI is around fifteen percent. |
Team Lead, Technical & Enterprise Directory Services Vita Program at AIS Network | 4.0 | We extensively use One Identity Active Roles for user provisioning, now automating some functions. It's intuitive and web-based, requiring minimal training for users familiar with native tools. Improved support for cloud directory integration would enhance its functionality. |
Senior Systems Engineer at a government with 10,001+ employees | 5.0 | We use One Identity Active Roles to centralize our environment, providing our clients control over their objects. Its configuration is straightforward once set up, and it offers excellent customization, though we wish for more web interface customization options. |
Senior Cyber Security Architect at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees | 5.0 | As an implementer of One Identity Active Roles, I find its standout feature to be the powerful workflow engine that integrates well with RBAC. While it excels in permission management, it lacks in areas like searching by object GUIDs. |
Active Directory Engineer at Maybank | 4.0 | I primarily use One Identity Active Roles for access management and auditing. Its valuable features include auditing, dynamic grouping, and a single workflow for cloud and on-prem identities, essential for Zero Trust security. We chose it for its auditing and workflow capabilities. |
