SharePoint AD Self Service
-
Version
2.2.1210.29
SharePoint AD Self Service allows for administrators
to give users the ability to add, delete, edit, or
view their own AD profile. Any adjustments made by
users can have e-mail notifications, and will be
recorded into a log.
The admin can also customize SharePoint AD Self
Service by dragging & dropping tabs and properties
into a desired order; displaying properties in a
dropdown list either preselected or from different
lists; or leaving it empty for custom entries.
The SharePoint AD Self Service web part allows users
to modify their personal Active Directory account
information in an easy to use, user-friendly
SharePoint web part.
By default, SharePoint users' profiles are stored and
can only be managed in Active Directory. Except for IT
administrators and members of Domain Admins, most
users are unable to access Active Directory
information, nor can they change their own AD
properties. The SharePoint AD Self Service web part
alleviates this burden on IT administrators by
enabling individual users to maintain their own AD
information in an intuitive interface.
To make changes to their AD properties, what users
need to do is type in the user name and password to
enter into the page where the AD Self Service web part
being added. The web part will automatically detect
current login user and domain, retrieving his/her
information from AD and display them in the web part.
Then, users can start to modify. Finally, by
clicking "save", the whole process has been completed.
Moreover, IT administrators have complete control over
which properties may be changed and by whom. IT
administrators and domain admin members can configure
settings in SharePoint Central Administration to
restrict and exclude users from changing properties,
as well as limiting the properties that are accessible
in the web part itself.
