Manage Local Windows Users
- Phillip Hanegan
As your organization grows, effectively managing Local Windows users becomes essential to maintaining a secure and efficient IT environment. EmpowerID offers a comprehensive solution that automates role-based access control, delegated permissions administration, and provisioning policy capabilities for local users and groups on your Windows servers. By adding servers as managed account stores in EmpowerID, you can inventory local users and groups, manage these objects with ease, and maintain a full audit trail of all related actions.
Local Windows users can be managed in EmpowerID from their respective View One pages. This article guides you through navigating to those pages and offers detailed explanations of the pertinent settings on those pages.
