UMRA makes it possible for us to delegate common tasks to servicedesk employees and end users like secretaries. Being able to program failsafes into the interface prevents typos and other errors. All in all, it's a very useful tool for us.

Besides the LDAP script actions, the wizard project scripts contain a lot of other UMRA actions that are used to make the wizard more user-friendly. The wizard can be extended in many ways to improve the functionality.
