NEW WEBSITE - www.umrahelp.com

As many of you know, or have been following. http://umratips.blogspot.com/ and http://activedirectoryadmin.blogspot.com/ are now combined into 1 easy webpage http://www.umrahelp.com. I've been meaning to combine both of the sites for awhile now, however, I've been just so busy with work and home life, that I haven't been able to get around to it.
However, little by little, I was able to finally get almost everything transfered over from the other blogs onto here.



So for any of you who have the old sites bookmarked, please bookmark this site, since the old ones wont be updated anymore.

UMRA – Work Flow Management

It's been about a year + since I've talked about a work flow managment system that I created. So I've decided that I should revisit this and show you some of the features of whats been developed.

Now when someone says "Work Flow Managment" that can mean many things, however with regards to linking it to UMRA, you can now create UMRA scripts from a web interface, and delegate those actions out to your users.

Right now I only have about 10 functions within my interface, however I can add more rather quickly.

Now some of you might be asking, why I would make something like this... Simple, anyone who has a portal UMRA based web portal, can now create RBAC types on the fly, and also create a work flow for a specific RBAC type or types on the fly. No need to go into the UMRA console, or edit code. You can create these, assign them to RBAC types, and have them use it right away. Now I know some of you are thinking, why would you want to create a Dynamic Work Flow through the web? You now can delgate out who can use UMRA, and you dont need to give any type of elevated rights to a server, or application, you can now say how your "disable" user process goes. For example, as an admin you can delegate out to "Seattle Office Managers" the ability to either create a work flow, or just to use a work flow you assigned. If you designated them to create a work flow, you define there actions. The "disable" action and how it runs, it up to you. The users dosent need to know, that you are are loggin data into a database, or moving the account. Unlinke if you were to do this in the UMRA console itself, they would have full control. I will talk more about this later.

Here is a quick scree show of what I did over a year ago.
