Managing Accounts
The most common use of the CMC is to manage user accounts. Although this chapter provides a review of managing user accounts, this should always be combined with an effective user-management strategy appropriate for your organization. For example, managing users is best accomplished through an effective group inheritance model, where object restrictions are never assigned to individual users, but rather to groups. When users are placed as members within those groups, they inherit the restrictions of the group. Often a single system of record, such as an LDAP or Active directory system, establishes one set of uses and groups that the entire organization and all software can use, greatly speeding user administration.
