What is Automated User Provisioning with HelloID?

In today’s modern workplace, managing user accounts is essential to ensure employees can access the necessary resources to do their job effectively. However, manual or non-existent user account provisioning processes can lead to several challenges for organizations, including inefficiencies, human error, lack of visibility, compliance issues, and delayed onboarding.

Manually creating and managing user accounts across multiple applications and systems is time-consuming and inefficient, leading to delays in granting access to necessary resources and reducing productivity. Human error can also occur during this process, exposing sensitive data and creating security vulnerabilities.

Lack of visibility makes it difficult to track user account activity and identify potential security threats, which can lead to possible legal and financial consequences due to non-compliance with regulations. Onboarding delays can also create a negative first impression for new employees, leading to frustration and reduced productivity.

To overcome these challenges, organizations can implement an automated user account provisioning process, which offers several benefits, including automation, near real-time provisioning, a self-service portal, integration with HR systems, and advanced reporting capabilities. These features can save time, reduce errors, and improve security, ensuring that employees have access to the necessary resources from day one. This is where Tools4ever’s HelloID Provisioning comes in.

Advantages of HelloID

HelloID Provisioning is a powerful solution that can automate the entire user account lifecycle, from creating and modifying user accounts to deleting them. With HelloID, IT administrators can easily provision user accounts across multiple applications and systems in near real-time, ensuring employees have access to the necessary resources from day one. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of human error.

One of the significant advantages of HelloID is its ability to integrate with today’s top HR and SIS systems. This allows easy employee and student account management during the user lifecycle. For example, when a new employee joins the company, their information is automatically pulled from the HR system and used to create their user accounts across multiple applications and systems. Similarly, when employees leave the company, their information is automatically updated in the HR system, triggering the deprovisioning process across all applications and systems.

Some of the systems HelloID integrates with include:

HR Systems

•   ADP
•   Bamboo HR
•   Ceridian Dayforce
•   Paycom
•   SAP SuccessFactors
•   UKG (UltiPro)

SIS Systems

•   eSchoolData
•   Infinite Campus
•   PowerSchool
•   Skyward
•   Synergy

Another key advantage of HelloID is its ability to automate deprovisioning. When an employee leaves the company, IT administrators must revoke their access rights to ensure that sensitive data remains secure. With HelloID, this process is automated, ensuring that all access rights are removed promptly and securely. This eliminates the risk of unauthorized access to company data, reducing the risk of data breaches.

HelloID also offers several features that make managing user accounts easy for IT administrators. For example, it provides a single pane of glass view of all user accounts across multiple applications and systems, allowing administrators to see which users can access which resources quickly. It also offers advanced reporting capabilities, enabling administrators to track user account activity and identify potential security threats.

Furthermore, automating user provisioning with HelloID is a simple and straightforward process. IT administrators can create business rules for user accounts, which can be used to provision new user accounts across multiple applications and systems quickly. These business rules can include all the necessary access rights and permissions, ensuring that employees have access to the necessary resources from day one.
