A company uses multiple internal portals that employees access every day. The IT group needs an approach that reduces multiple credentials for various portals while simplifying permission adjustments when personnel move to different roles. Which method is the BEST choice?
Match user accounts with each new portal through automated provisioning scripts kept on separate servers
Grant separate sign-in credentials for each portal and require managers to handle approvals manually
Use a central directory that coordinates login and session management across all portals
Deploy multiple local accounts in each portal with uniformly strong credential policies
Implementing a single sign-in mechanism with a central directory integrates credentials and session management into one place. This design streamlines login procedures and provides a unified spot for updating user privileges. Relying on isolated accounts or multiple sets of credentials creates inefficient workflows that can lead to privilege mismatches or delayed updates. Automated provisioning scripts help reproduce accounts, but they do not provide a comprehensive single login or dynamic adjustment of permissions.
