Modify attributes in bulk (web client)

Using ARM, you can change the Active Directory (AD) attributes in bulk. This process can be helpful during a corporate reorganization, such as a merger and/or address change.

ARM provides a standard set of modifiable attributes. For each ARM role, you can specify which attributes are displayed and can be changed. See Set attributes available to web client scenarios for additional details.

  1. Log in to the Access Rights Manager application.

  2. On the toolbar, click Analyze > New analyze session.

  3. Under Categories, select AD users.

  4. Under Scenarios, click All AD user accounts.

  5. Under All AD User Accounts in the Domain name box, set the options for the scenario.

  6. Click Start calculation for your scenario.

  7. Use the sorting, filtering, grouping and column selections to narrow your selection.

  8. Select the checkboxes next to the targeted entries.

  9. In the right column under Reports, click Change personal information.

  10. Activate the attributes that need to be changed and enter the appropriate values. If you activate an input field and do not specify a value, the attribute content is deleted.

  11. (Required) Enter a comment about the attribute modification.

  12. Click Execute Action.

    The job is transferred to the ARM server and executed. ARM administrators can see the status in the task overview scenario.
