IT Administrators use the MetaPass Administration Console and Server software to manage users across the organization. This software is not only used to configure MetaPass to interface with your applications, but it also connects to your directory, allowing you to associate applications with users or groups of users. For example, you may decide that your whole Marketing department should have access to 12 websites, 5 applications, and 2 servers. You can accomplish that with just a few drag and drop operations, and a push of the “Synchronize Users” button.. Users receive their access rights and can instantly access those systems.

Users’ rights can be updated any time, in real time. This can be done by group of users, or individually per user when granularity is important. The MetaPass Administration Console and Server also allows for setting up user policies, i.e. what users can and cannot do with MetaPass, how they authenticate, how and where passwords are encrypted and stored, etc. It also contains functions to automatically change passwords from whatever the users chose to long, strong, randomly-generated passwords that are much more difficult to crack. At some point, you may decide to even hide passwords from users. This way, they will not write them down or share them with others.
