Workplace from Meta

Enhance collaboration with ADManager Plus and Meta Workplace integration

Identity provisioning

Workplace from Meta is an all-in-one business collaboration tool developed by Meta. It helps teams enable real-time interactions, with features like text messaging, data sharing, and live video tools. Integrating ADManager Plus with Workplace from Meta enhances operational efficiency by automatically provisioning and deprovisioning user accounts in Workspace based on user data in Active Directory (AD) and vice versa. This automation reduces the administrative burden while eliminating manual errors. Consequently, organizations can maintain accurate user data and enhance productivity by focusing on strategic tasks rather than routine account management.

 

Effortlessly onboard new hires

ADManager Plus workflows help create seamless onboarding experience by provisioning user accounts across Active Directory (AD), Exchange, Microsoft365 and other applications when users are created in Workplace.

 

Automate offboarding efficiently

Upon an employee's departure, their user accounts can be deprovisioned based on changes in Workplace, ensuring a clean complete transition.
