| Enterprise environments make account management challenging and complex. A manual process for account management functions adds the risk of a potential oversight or other errors.
A comprehensive account management process that includes automation helps to ensure accounts designated as requiring attention are addressed consistently and promptly. Examples include, but are not limited to, using automation to take action on multiple accounts designated as inactive, suspended, or terminated. This requirement applies to all account types, including individual/user, shared, group, system, guest/anonymous, emergency, developer/manufacturer/vendor, temporary, and service. Automated mechanisms may be composed of differing technologies that, when placed together, contain an overall automated mechanism supporting an organization's automated account management requirements. |
