Delegate user provisioning processes to help desk personnel
ARM helps to make the user provisioning processes easy to delegate. With ARM, you can delegate all of these responsibilities to your help desk. SolarWinds recommends beginning the process by delegating simple account management. Depending on your employee qualifications, you can expand the responsibilities gradually over a period of time.
