How does eTrust Admin work?
eTrust Admin automates the provisioning of user accounts on a variety of IT systems and ERP applications, using a role-based approach. It allows administrators to centrally define and manage security policies This automation can, optionally, be driven directly from an HR system, like PeopleSoft, eliminating the need for most manual input. There are also web-based delegated administrator interfaces available when automated input is not appropriate. The product employs a server / agent technology. The Admin Server maintains a master directory of roles, groups and global users to be managed. It accepts requests for updates to those lists and directs the agents on various managed platforms to perform the needed work.
