One Identity Active Roles

One Identity Active Roles  is used for automation, on-boarding, off-boarding workflows, managing group membership and permissions, role-based access control, auditing, and compliance in our hybrid AD environment with approval workflows.

A practical example we are currently using is as follows. When HR creates a new employee record, One Identity Active Roles  automatically creates the AD account, assigns the correct OU based on the department location, adds predefined security groups, applies mailbox and licensing policies, and sets manager attributes and naming standards. For access control, we use dedicated administrators so the L1 helpdesk team can reset passwords or unlock accounts without receiving full domain admin rights. Access is restricted through role-based permissions and approval workflows, which improves security and reduces the risk of unauthorized AD changes.

This use case fits our organization well.

One Identity Active Roles offers workflow automation, role-based access control, dynamic group management, hybrid AD and Microsoft 365 management, approval workflows, policy enforcement, and auditing.

The feature that stands out and has had the biggest impact is the dedicated administrator combined with workflow automation. Before implementing One Identity Active Roles, routine AD tasks required senior administrators with elevated privileges. Now L1 and L2 support teams can safely handle tasks such as password resets, account unlocks, group modifications, and basic user provisioning through controlled RBAC policies. This helps us by reducing dependence on domain admin access, lowering the risk of accidental and unauthorized changes, speeding up user on-boarding and support requests, standardizing AD operations across teams, and reducing manual efforts and workload. Onboarding previously took around thirty to forty minutes, and now it takes just two to three minutes.

One Identity Active Roles has improved our organization by automating AD tasks, reducing manual errors, improving security through dedicated access control, and speeding up user onboarding and off-boarding. It has also helped reduce admin workload and improved our compliance tracking.

One Identity Active Roles is very strong for AD automation, dedicated administration, and governance, especially in a large enterprise environment. The main areas that could be improved are UI modernization and reporting flexibility. These improvements could help the product achieve a higher rating.

I have been using One Identity Active Roles for almost a year.

Based on our analysis and reporting, there is approximately fifty to seventy percent reduction in manual effort. Onboarding time has been reduced from twenty to thirty minutes to five minutes. There is a significant decrease in configuration errors due to the automation workflow templates.

One Identity Active Roles currently satisfies my use case, and I am happy with the solution. There is no need for improvements right now. However, when time passes, I will conduct research and development with other competitors as well. When I determine that the product needs improvement, I will update my feedback accordingly.

The features that stand out are currently working as expected. One Identity Active Roles is performing as anticipated. My overall rating for this product is eight out of ten.

My main use case for One Identity Active Roles  is automation.

One specific example of how I use automation with One Identity Active Roles  is through automated employee onboarding, where when HR shares new employee details, the system automatically creates an Active Directory account, assigning it to the correct OU, group membership, email attributes, and permission based on the employee's department or role. This significantly reduces manual efforts, provisioning time, and configuration errors.

Using One Identity Active Roles, we consolidate multiple manual Active Directory administration processes and native management tools into a single, centralized platform for user provisioning, delegation, RBAC, automation, and auditing.
