SolarWinds Access Rights Manager
Stop worrying about unauthorized access and use—see exactly who has access to your data in seconds.
Starts at
Access rights management software helps organizations manage and control who has access to systems, data, and files. SolarWinds® Access Rights Manager (ARM) automates user provisioning and deprovisioning, manages and audits access rights, and provides reporting to support compliance across Active Directory and file servers.
SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM) centralizes access rights management, user provisioning, permission analysis, and compliance reporting across Active Directory, file servers, SharePoint, Exchange, OneDrive, and Teams.
Provisioning
Standardize user credentials with role-specific templates to create secure accounts at scale. ARM streamlines onboarding and enables rapid response to account termination requests, reducing manual workload.
Visibility
Get immediate visibility into user permissions, access activity, and changes across Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), file servers, SharePoint, Exchange, OneDrive, and Teams. Identify overprivileged accounts and reduce exposure.
Compliance
Produce tailored, audit-ready documentation to satisfy GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and other regulatory requirements. Schedule detailed user activity reports and send them directly to your auditor with minimal effort.
File servers
Gain full visibility into Windows file share permissions, including NetApp and EMC storage. Audit access rights and user actions with granular, event-based reporting to prevent data leaks and unauthorized changes.
Delegation
Put data access rights directly in the hands of data owners through a web-based self-service permissions portal. Reduce IT workload while maintaining security and ensuring access decisions stay close to the business.
ARM integrates with supported enterprise systems to centralize access rights management across your hybrid IT environment.
An access manager controls who can see or change digital files, applications, and network resources across an organization. It provides visibility into user permissions, automates provisioning and deprovisioning, detects unauthorized access, and generates audit-ready compliance reports. SolarWinds Access Rights Manager performs this role across Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), file servers, SharePoint, Exchange, OneDrive, and Teams.
Access rights management software simplifies compliance by producing tailored, audit-ready reports that document who has access to what and when they accessed it. SolarWinds ARM includes built-in reporting templates for GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and other frameworks. Reports can be generated on demand or scheduled for automated delivery to auditors, reducing manual preparation time.
Organizations can monitor user access by deploying access rights management software that scans Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), file servers, Exchange, SharePoint, and other platforms to visualize who holds access to sensitive data and systems. SolarWinds ARM provides a risk assessment dashboard that flags non-compliant accounts, passwords that never expire, inactive accounts, and globally accessible directories. Real-time alerting notifies teams of unauthorized permission changes, while the Logbook tracks all access activity with timestamps and administrator identification.
IT teams can replace manual permission audits with file server permissions management software that scans and visualizes access rights across Windows, EMC, and NetApp file servers. SolarWinds ARM identifies direct permissions, broken ACLs, and globally accessible directories, then allows bulk remediation through a web client. Near real-time monitoring with the file server Logga detects unauthorized changes as they happen, eliminating the need for PowerShell scripts.
An access rights management report should document who has access to what resources, when access was granted or changed, and who made the change. It should cover Active Directory group memberships, file server permissions, Exchange mailbox rights, and SharePoint access. SolarWinds ARM generates customizable reports in PDF, CSV, and XLSX formats that can be scheduled for automated delivery, giving auditors the detail they need with minimal manual effort.
The five core steps of access control are identification, authentication, authorization, monitoring, and review. Access rights management software supports each step by verifying user identities, enforcing role-based permissions, tracking access activity in real time, and enabling periodic access reviews. SolarWinds ARM automates provisioning and deprovisioning to enforce least-privilege principles and maintain accurate access throughout the user lifecycle.
Access management governs who can view, modify, or interact with systems, data, and files across an organization. It provides centralized visibility into permissions, supports user provisioning and deprovisioning, helps identify inappropriate or unauthorized access, and enables auditing and compliance reporting. SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM) centralizes access rights management across Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), file servers, SharePoint, Exchange, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams.
Accelerate onboarding with repeatable, role-based workflows for creating and updating user accounts. SolarWinds ARM helps standardize credentials, automate user provisioning, and give IT teams a consistent way to grant the right access at the right time—without relying on manual, error-prone processes.
