Remove unresolved SIDs in bulk (web client)

Background / Value

SIDs (Security Identifiers) are strings that are used to identify user and group accounts in Active Directory. SIDs become unresolved when users or groups with direct permissions are deleted in AD. By using unresolved SIDs insider threats can gain access to sensitive resources.

Access Rights Manager clearly identifies unresolved SIDs in your system. Delete unresolved SIDs in bulk using the web client.
