Oberaigner: Authorization management and documentation with one click
Satisfied Access Manager customer since 2017
“With the help of the Access Manager, access management has become a real no-brainer and has taken an enormous amount of work off our hands in the IT department,” praises Hubert Springer, Head of IT & Building Services, “Reviews are now no longer difficult laborious tasks, but done at the push of a button.” The BAYOOSOFT Access Manager automates the entire access management process, from the application for rights, to approval and implementation, documentation and annual auditing.
The Oberaigner Group develops and manufactures high-speed drive systems for small series. It assembles its own innovative all-wheel drive technology according to automotive standards for commercial vehicles of tomorrow’s leading automotive brands. In the segment of all-wheel drive transfer cases, Oberaigner has many years of extensive specialized knowledge and know-how and can develop and produce customer-specific products for the automotive industry. As a specialist for small series up to series with medium quantities, Oberaigner fully realizes other vehicle variants and transmission systems for niche applications whose special requirements are not covered by the standard product range of the vehicle manufacturers. The field of application ranges from vans to trucks, passenger cars, and buses as well as boats.
A time-consuming manual access management as the starting situation
The manual access assignment using the ticket system became increasingly confusing and time-consuming. If an employee needed new access permission, a ticket that went directly to the IT department had to be created. IT administrators’ task was to obtain the information to approve the access permission and, once approval had been granted, to set the NTFS permission via Windows board tools. The whole process was documented in the ticket. If an overview of granted access rights was required within the scope of a certification, which is necessary for the customers of the Oberaigner Group, this information had to be taken from the various tickets or folders in the data structure. Therefore, the reviews were thus extremely laborious and time-consuming, which had to be changed.
Commissioning of the BAYOOSOFT Access Manager
After the project team was able to convince itself of the software solution through a webinar and the subsequent test installation, the go-ahead was given for the start of operations.
First, the project members used the NTFS Permission Analyzer to obtain an overview of the existing NTFS permissions. Then the data owners were defined, who would later decide autonomously on permission requests in their area. From now on, this role was assumed by the department managers, who received training on rights management, particularly on the assignment of rights using profile groups, during the later course of the go-live. Before the identified access permission situation could be migrated to the Access Manager, the data managers made appropriate changes to bring the data structure up to date.
The migration started with the IT folders and then the software solution was rolled out to all other departments in Nebelberg. This turned out to be straightforward thanks to the energetic support of the Solution Engineer, the primary contact person on the part of BAYOOSOFT. The other two locations, Laage and Ottnang are Hausruck, decided against adapting the existing structure and started from scratch. This means that the folder structure from Nebelberg was taken over and the access permissions were reassigned according to the Need-to-Know Principle.
The advantages for the Oberaginer Group through the use of the BAYOOSOFT Access Manager can be summarized in the following points:
