Create new accounts with associated contact information for Active Directory Services, NT Services and SQL Membership Provider through SharePoint.
The User Account Setup Web Part allows SharePoint users designated by an IT administrator to add users on their own rather than relying on IT personnel to create the accounts. You can create a new authentication provider (ADS, NT and SQL Membership) account while at the same time; add the account to defined SharePoint groups in different sites. With Active Directory authentication provider, optionally extend information collected by defining additional attributes to be populated in both ADS and SharePoint attributes. Seeking the ability to approve individual account creations? No problem. User Account Setup Web Part provides the ability to submit account creation requests for approval prior to creation. User Account Setup Web Part also stores all transactions into a custom SharePoint list, allowing IT personnel the ability to track all new accounts created.
Out-of-the-box SharePoint does not provide IT administrators the ability to create user accounts in their authentication provider and SharePoint simultaneously. Because of this, IT administrators are responsible for managing users for SharePoint customer portals, department sites, hosted applications, and the entire corporation in both the authentication provider and SharePoint separately. Offloading some of this work to users that the IT administrator has selected and granted special permissions to, allows the IT administrator to focus on higher priority tasks.
User Account Setup Web Part is just part of a larger story, a true password management solution. With a complete password management solution, corporations can add another essential layer of security to their growing and often confidential SharePoint environments. Now IT Administrators can enforce a full fledge password policy, including routine password expiration without the fear of overhead costs to maintain. With the Bamboo Password Management Toolkit, users get the power of not just Password Change Web Part, but also Password Expiration Web Part and Password Reset Web Part.
