About User Management

User Management System is designed to provide control and visibility over employee access to DataSnipper, addressing issues related to over-deployment, user management challenges, visibility and accountability issues, and user provisioning. This feature is instrumental in achieving a streamlined and empowered user management experience.

About Directory Sync

With Directory Sync, your organization can automate User Lifecycle Management (ULM). Any changes to user identities, groups, or access rules in your directory provider are instantly synced to our platform, eliminating the need for manual updates and minimizing errors. This ensures your data is always up to date. Directory Sync helps you save time, enhance security, and simplify onboarding and offboarding, streamlining your ULM as your organization grows.
