Empower users with self-service

Reduce IT workload and boost productivity with Netwrix Directory Manager.

Why Netwrix Directory Manager for self-service?

Netwrix Directory Manager empowers end users with secure self-service capabilities. They can reset their own passwords and request group membership changes, while managers and owners approve or deny requests through automated workflows. This eliminates unnecessary IT tickets, reduces costs, and ensures people get the access they need without delay.

Free IT from routine requests

By delegating group and account changes, IT teams can focus on strategic projects instead of password resets and access tickets.

Keep employees productive

Self-service password reset and group access requests ensure employees regain access quickly and avoid costly downtime.

Maintain governance and security

Built-in workflows and MFA validation ensure self-service doesn’t compromise security. Access changes are reviewed and approved by the right stakeholders.

Lower helpdesk costs

Eliminating repetitive account and access requests reduces ticket volume and operational costs, freeing IT resources for higher-value work.

Features that enable self-service

Secure self service password reset

Example:

Password problems flood the helpdesk

Employees frequently forget their passwords or get locked out, leaving IT flooded with reset requests. Productivity suffers as users wait for assistance.

Self-service rolls out

Using Netwrix Directory Manager, the organization enables a secure self-service portal for password resets and access requests. Users can authenticate with MFA and reset their own passwords anytime, from any device.

Access requests go straight to owners

When employees need access to new shared folders or Microsoft 365 groups, they submit a self-service request that automatically routes to the appropriate manager or group owner for approval.

Delegated management reduces IT workload

Managers and business owners can approve or deny requests directly through governed workflows. All actions are logged for auditability, eliminating the need for IT to handle routine changes.

Continuous governance maintained

Every self-service action is recorded with timestamps and approval history. MFA enforcement and workflow rules ensure that access changes are verified and compliant, while reports provide a clear audit trail for security teams

Result

With Netwrix Directory Manager, employees regain access within minutes, managers control their own resources, and IT eliminates a large volume of repetitive tickets — all while maintaining strong oversight and compliance.
