One Identity Active Roles

One Identity Active Roles  streamlines Active Directory operation and maintains better control over user accounts, groups, and administrative commissions on a day-to-day basis.

Whenever a new employee joins the organization, changes departments, or leaves the organization, One Identity Active Roles  helps automate account updates and access changes without requiring any manual intervention, which is helpful to keep user access accurate and up to date.

The best features One Identity Active Roles offers are centralized Active Directory administration, access delegation, and user life cycle management.

Centralized administration is helpful because from different tools, I can get visibility from a single console, and the access delegation capability is very useful.

Since using this solution, there has been a great positive impact within the organization, achieving simplified user administration, faster execution of access changes for employees, and very good visibility into administrative actions.

The faster execution has reduced errors because access changes are automatically done by the solution instead of being changed manually, which saves significant time.

One Identity Active Roles provides strong governance and security through rule-based administration and approval workflows, which ensures changes and control are audited.

In terms of accuracy and reliability of output, One Identity Active Roles provides consistent output, and the automated workflow and access management process work very accurately, helping to reduce manual errors.

Fine-grained permission control is helpful for implementing the principle of least privilege; an administrator receives only the specific information that is required for the job function instead of assigning broad administrator rights.

The ease of integrating One Identity Active Roles with existing IT infrastructure and directory services is very smooth; it is a process-by-process step, so there are no issues with this integration.

My impression of the automation capabilities provided by One Identity Active Roles is very positive; it addresses repetitive administrative tasks and maintains consistency. For example, when new employees join, it can automatically create the user account, assign the appropriate group members, and apply naming standards.

The impact of One Identity Active Roles on compliance efforts is very positive; there is a compliance-ready environment because of good visibility, and every administrative action is tracked. Approval workflows help ensure that access changes follow established policies, making audits easier.

One Identity Active Roles has streamlined and simplified the complexity and workload of administrative tasks related to Active Directory because of its ability to automate routine tasks and provide dedicated administration.

My experience with the delegation of administrative tasks through One Identity Active Roles has made the process easier since most tasks are automated, allowing specific responsibilities to be assigned to different teams without giving them full Active Directory privilege, which has significantly improved security.

My advice for others looking into using One Identity Active Roles is to start with the POC, get hands-on experience with all feature sets, and after that, proceed with the solution. Before implementation, define Active Directory administration and delegation requirements, and start by automating repetitive tasks such as user provisioning and password resets. I would rate this product a 9.

My main use case for One Identity Active Roles  is user provisioning and group administration, workflow automation, access management, and employee onboarding and offboarding processes. When a new employee joins, One Identity Active Roles  automatically creates the account, applies the correct policies, assigns role-based security groups, and routes approval if required.

The main focus of how I use One Identity Active Roles is user management through onboarding and offboarding, lifecycle management, access control, and reducing manual administrative effort through automation.

The automation capabilities are one of the strongest features of One Identity Active Roles. I mainly use them for user onboarding, offboarding, group assignments, and access approval workflows. For example, when a new employee joins, the account creation and non-role-based group assignments happen automatically through predefined workflows, reducing manual work, improving consistency, and helping minimize provisioning errors, making identity management much more efficient and controlled.

The main use case is automation of processes such as employee user management, onboarding, and offboarding. The automation process makes these tasks smooth and fast, allowing administrative work to be reduced and time to be saved.

The best features One Identity Active Roles offers in my experience include workflow automation, delegated administrations, user provisioning, de-provisioning, role-based access control, auditing, and hybrid Active Directory management. A workflow engine is especially valuable because it automates repetitive tasks such as onboarding, offboarding, and access requests, which saves time and reduces manual errors. I also appreciate the delegated administration features because they allow teams to handle specific tasks without giving full AD privileges, improving both security and efficiency, while the auditing and reporting capabilities are very useful for compliance.

Workflow automation has reduced repetitive manual work through onboarding, access requests, and account management, while delegated administrations allow support teams to handle routine tasks without full AD access. This has improved efficiency, reduced bottlenecks, and strengthened security through better access control and auditing.

I would like to highlight the auditing and reporting features of One Identity Active Roles because they provide good visibility into changes and help with compliance and troubleshooting. The fine-grained delegation and centralized management across Active Directory and cloud environments are also very valuable in our day-to-day activity.

One Identity Active Roles has impacted our organization positively because the biggest benefit has been reducing manual administration through automation and standardized workflows. Tasks such as onboarding, offboarding, group assignments, and access requests are now much faster and more consistent than before, thus helping create a more structured identity management process across the organization.

There are several positive outcomes since implementing One Identity Active Roles. Overall, the biggest gains have been time saving, improved consistency, reduced manual error, and better operational efficiency rather than a direct headcount reduction.

There is room for improvement in One Identity Active Roles. Based on my experience using it for the last two years, I see potential for a more modern UI, simpler workflow customization, and easier reporting. While the product is very capable, managing complex workflows and hybrid environments can sometimes require deeper expertise than expected, so better cloud integration and troubleshooting visibility would also be valuable improvements.

In terms of needed improvements, I would like to see enhancements around the reporting dashboard and cloud-focused management features. While the core functionality is strong, most of the improvements I would like to see are around usability, visibility, cloud management, and making advanced features easier to configure and maintain rather than major gaps in the product itself.

I have been using One Identity Active Roles for the last two years.

One Identity Active Roles is stable.

One Identity Active Roles is definitely scalable. I purchased this for its scalability and have seen its ability to handle increasing numbers of users, groups, access requests, and administrative tasks without major issues. The automation and delegation administration features help a lot because they reduce the workloads on administrators.

Customer support is quite good.

Before switching to One Identity Active Roles, user and access management was mainly handled through native Active Directory tools, manual processes, and a few scripts. As the environment grew, those methods became hard to manage and audit, so I adopted One Identity Active Roles to automate routine tasks, improve delegations, strengthen governance, and reduce manual effort.

I would say the integration of One Identity Active Roles with our existing IT infrastructure and directory services was very straightforward overall, especially because our environment was already based on Active Directory and Microsoft services. The initial integration with Active Directory was relatively smooth, and One Identity Active Roles fit well into our existing identity management process, designed to work across AD, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365, which helped simplify administrations in our hybrid environment.

I did not purchase One Identity Active Roles through AWS Marketplace , as I use AWS  as a part of our hybrid cloud environment, but the licensing and procedure were done directly through our organization's standard software procurement process rather than through the AWS Marketplace .

I have seen a positive return on investment mainly through time savings and operational efficiency. While I do not have exact financial figures, a good example is onboarding and user provisioning. Before One Identity Active Roles, creating accounts, assigning groups, and validating permissions was largely manual work, taking around twenty to thirty minutes per user, but with automated workflows, that process now takes just a few minutes for standard requests.

I have utilized the fine-grained permissions control and delegated administration features quite extensively. One of the biggest impacts has been supporting the least privileged principle by allowing users and teams to perform only the specific administrative tasks they need without giving broad Active Directory access. For example, help desk teams can handle password resets and account unlocks, while application owners can manage only their own groups and resources.

In my experience, the pricing is at an enterprise level, but the setup and licensing were justified by the automation and governance features. Setup required planning and configuration, but licensing was straightforward, and the long-term operational benefits provided good value.

I evaluated Microsoft Native  Active Directory tools, ManageEngine ADManager Plus , and some identity governance platforms such as SailPoint. I selected One Identity Active Roles because of its automation, delegation administration, auditing, and strong Active Directory management capabilities.

For others considering One Identity Active Roles, my advice would be to first check your user management process and how onboarding and access management would be taken care of before deployment, starting with key automation use cases. If implemented properly, One Identity Active Roles can save a lot of administrative effort while improving security and compliance, so it is important to clearly define your governance model, roles, and approval processes before deployment.

My experience with delegated administration has been very positive. Before One Identity Active Roles, most routine requests had to go through senior Active Directory administrators, which often created delays and bottlenecks. Now, with delegated administrations, I can assign specific responsibilities to help desk teams, application owners, or business units without giving them full AD privileges. For instance, help desk staff can handle password resets and account unlocks, while certain teams can manage their own group's membership, significantly improving workflow because routine requests are resolved faster, reducing the workload on senior administrators and controlling access more securely through the least privilege model.

One Identity Active Roles offers automation capabilities that are among the strongest features available. I mainly use them for user onboarding, offboarding, group assignments, and access approval workflows. For example, when a new employee joins, the account creation and non-role-based group assignments happen automatically through predefined workflows, reducing manual work, improving consistency, and helping minimize provisioning errors, making identity management much more efficient and controlled.

My main use case for One Identity Active Roles  is automating and controlling AD user lifecycle management with delegated administrator. When a new employee joins, instead of an admin manually creating the ID accounts, assigning groups and setting permissions, One Identity Active Roles  automatically takes care of the request from the HR system or service ticket, applies the naming convention and password policies, and sends approval workflows if elevated access is requested.

Integrating One Identity Active Roles with my existing IT infrastructure and directory services is a plug and play solution. I need to enter the credentials inside the AD.

My impression of the automation capabilities provided by One Identity Active Roles is positive, based on the user onboarding process automation. HR sends the request to the ticket service team, which gives the integration with One Identity Active Roles. HR alerts the support ticket administrator, who starts the process that will assign One Identity Active Roles automatically for a user based on this justification, which helps very easily.

The best features One Identity Active Roles offers include fine-grained delegated administrator, RBAC policies, lifecycle management, hybrid managed identity management, policy-based administration, and auditing, tracking, and changes.

If I have to select one feature, lifecycle management has the biggest impact because it automates user onboarding, role changes, and offboarding, making access updates faster, consistent, and less error-prone while reducing the risk of orphaned accounts.

One Identity Active Roles has positively impacted my organization by speeding up the user provisioning, reducing manual AD tickets, strengthening the security through consistent access control, and improving compliance.

Regarding One Identity Active Roles's AI capabilities, I cannot rely on the AI totally. At this time, it is 50-50 for me to give the answer because sometimes it gives me a really good answer and sometimes not the script that I have to check with them. It is very difficult to rely on the AI as well, so it is 60-40.

I haven't used the fine-grained permission control feature of One Identity Active Roles, but it is in my license. In the future, I will be deploying this solution. I rate this product an 8 out of 10.

One Identity Active Roles  is used in our environment primarily for managing Active Directory operations such as user provisioning, password reset, account locks, group management, and delegated administration access.

User provisioning is a heavily utilized function, where new employee onboarding includes automatic account creation, OU placement, group membership, and permission assignment based on department or role. The service desk team manages group membership requests and access changes through delegated administration without requiring full domain admin rights, which reduces manual efforts and improves security control.

After implementing One Identity Active Roles , clear operational improvements are evident, including user provisioning time reduction from hours to minutes, a 40 to 50% drop in service desk workload, faster resolution of password reset and account-related requests through delegated administration, and fewer manual errors in group assignment and permission management.

The best feature of One Identity Active Roles is automation combined with delegated administration, which reduces repetitive Active Directory work such as user provisioning, group assignment, and account management while allowing the service desk team to handle routine tasks without granting full domain admin access.

Automation simplifies daily operations by eliminating repetitive manual Active Directory tasks including user creation, group assignment, password reset, and account disablement. Onboarding and offboarding processes become much faster because account permissions and group membership are assigned automatically based on role or department.

One Identity Active Roles has positively impacted productivity and user satisfaction by reducing delays in account provisioning, password reset, and access requests. Previously, many AD-related tasks were manual and heavily dependent on senior administrators, but after implementing automation and delegated administration, requests are completed much faster and with fewer errors.

One area where One Identity Active Roles can improve is simplifying complex workflow and approval management in large enterprise environments. Troubleshooting permission inheritance, synchronization issues, or customized workflows can still require considerable time and experienced administrator involvement.

The UI experience, easier workflow customization, and better troubleshooting visibility for complex AD and hybrid identity environments require improvement. Identifying permission inheritance issues or synchronization problems still sometimes requires manual investigation.
