User Creation templates
ManageEngine Identity360 comes with a predefined template that can be adapted to create customized templates with attributes that suit an organization's personalized needs. By applying these templates during the user account creation process, only the values for the attributes need to be provided in the templates. Utilizing these tailor-made templates, the identity management process is streamlined, saving organizations time and money.
