Cimitra is a Least Privilege Access solution for increasing IT security and improving IT operations.
- Increase security by reducing admin-level rights. With Cimitra the Tier 3 IT Specialists can reduce the number of people with admin-level rights, while allowing them to still perform their duties.
- With Cimitra, your most expensive IT Specialists can now safely delegate routine IT tasks to other IT generalists, help desk personnel, or even non-technical staff.
Cimitra allows IT specialists to divvy out routine IT tasks with the intent to increase security, and save time and money.
With Cimitra, any routine problem solved with a command or a script (PowerShell, Bash, Python, etc.) can be shared in a user-friendly way. No end-user installation is necessary! We have lots of pre-made scripts, and you can find and make your own. Examples: Active Directory administration, eDirectory administration, GroupWise administration, Print Server administration, etc.
Sometimes and IT person explaining Cimitra to their boss, is the best way to understand what Cimitra can do for you…
“Cimitra is a management platform which is designed to present pre-generated and pre-canned scripts to individuals without having to grant them complex Microsoft Role Assignments or give them excessive rights. One of the problems that organizations are experiencing is that many rudimentary management functions require elevated PowerShell rights or Administration rights thus putting an organization at risk by generating too many privileged accounts, having to manage dozens of different roles or waiting until overloaded Level III support personnel can get to the request.
Cimitra, allows scripts to be written and then presented to specific individuals behind a separate authentication layer. A script sitting on an Active Directory domain controller to create users is presented to John when John logs into the Cimitra product, he doesn’t need any Active Directory user rights and can only run the Actions that have been provided to him thus granting John the ability to create users but not delete them.”
Safely Delegate routine tasks
Reclaim the time IT specialists spend doing daily routine tasks – resetting passwords, restarting processes, making changes to databases etc.
Password reset . . .
This is a Cimitra Action that in the background runs a script that resets a user’s password. You find or create the scripts that Cimitra will run. So if you have a password in Active Directory, you are likely to use a PowerShell script. If you have a password in a MySQL database on a Linux server, you might use a Bash or Python script.
Printer restart . . .
This is a Cimitra Action that in the background runs a very simple PowerShell script that runs a restart of the Print Spooler service on Windows.
Computer rename . . .
This is a Cimitra Action that in the background runs a PowerShell script that renames a computer object in Active Directory.
