Team Management System
A range of features included in FinalBuilder Server help simplify the management of teams, both large and small. Firstly, user accounts can easily be created and maintained by creating new accounts in FinalBuilder Server or taking advantage of the built-in LDAP integration to use your existing Active Directory accounts. FinalBuilder Server also offers user level security for your build projects through a role based permissions system.
User authentication with Active Directory (LDAP) integration
To streamline the process of creating users and automatically keep user accounts up-to-date, FinalBuilder Server includes an option to integrate with Active Directory. When adding new users, select “Active Directory” for the authentication method and you’ll be provided with a complete list of existing users from the domain controller.
LDAP integration allows you to migrate user accounts from Active Directory to reduce the overhead of creating users in the initial configuration of FinalBuilder Server. It also provides automated user account maintenance as your team members’ usernames, passwords and other details will always be up-to-date with Active Directory.
But don’t just take the VSoft marketing department's word for it, Robert Love from the Utah State Government summed it up when he used this feature for the first time:
"Wow! [FinalBuilder Server] appears to auto detect our Active Directory Server. I setup my account without any major problems. I was able to authenticate and use the server... That was really easy! I suspected I would be 10-20 minutes configuring this support (like I have had to do with other software). I spent less than 3 and that includes writing this email."
Role based permissions management
To streamline user level security, FinalBuilder Server provides a comprehensive role based permission management system. Define custom roles for individual users or groups of users and assign permissions for almost every aspect of control possible with FinalBuilder Server.
Below is a screen shot showing of the entire set of permissions that can be customised for each role. The length of the screenshot emphasises just the depth of customisation available with FinalBuilder Server’s permissions management system.
