Title:
Description:
Active Directory (AD) is a directory service developed by Microsoft for Windows domain
networks. It is a database that contains users, groups, and other objects. Each object
represents a specific entity, such as a user, a computer, a printer, or an application, within the
network. AD organizes all these objects into logical hierarchical groupings for easy retrieval
and management. This allows network administrators to manage the network resources
efficiently and maintain security by assigning and enforcing security policies for all objects in
the directory. When a user logs into a computer on the network, AD verifies the password
and determines what the user is allowed to access.
Output:
3. Create a New User: Right-click on the Users folder, select New, and then
select User. Fill out the details for the new user and click Next.
4. Set User Permissions: After creating the user, you can set their permissions. Click
on the Add button after selecting the user, here you can specify what permissions
this user has.
Conclusion: Creating new users and assigning appropriate privileges ensures that
individuals have access only to the resources necessary for their roles, enhancing both
security and productivity. With granular permissions, administrators can finely control
system access, reducing the risk of unauthorized data exposure. Assigning user roles and
permissions efficiently promotes smooth workflow and minimizes potential errors. Proper
user management also aids in tracking access activity and simplifying auditing processes.
Ultimately, this structured approach supports a secure, compliant, and well-organized system
environment.
