We are looking to have Epicor automatically setup Users and assign security groups based on the Active directory groups new hires are assigned to. Has anyone ever done anything like this?
We have something similar but not automated yet.
- Job titles are standard. Each job title has been pre-reviewed for access needed in Epicor and an Epicor security group created for that job title - eg. ACCT1
- There is an AD group for each job title - eg. ACCT1-USERS
- New users are added to the AD group for their job title and have their job function security group added to their Epicor user account - this is manual for us
- We have reports we can run to check for violations and to show auditors
For automation I could see extracting AD data, compare against Epicor user acccounts, and, for new accounts, using command line DMT to create a User record and a DMT to insert the security group for their job title (and probalby company and other User associated setup). This would need to be tightly controlled by naming convention.
Hope this helps.
