Active Directory

Active Directory Groups are one mechanism used by Windows Centric campuses to manage access control.  The benefit of using this approach for those campuses is that of centralized control.  Some assumptions need to be assessed in making a decision to use AD.  Many campuses use AD for windows specific access control and other resources as are required depending on your campus.

Some Assumptions:

1. The majority of resources on campus are Windows based and use AD for access control.
2. There is some manner of account management that populates and depolulates membership in AD groups as required.
3. There are other systems that can be employed to manage access control in a scalable manner for those assets that do not or can no use MS AD for access control.
