Active Directory

Active Directory is a Microsoft service that helps organizations manage their computer networks. It acts like a phone book for a company’s systems and users, keeping track of all the computers, user accounts, and permissions. This allows IT departments to control access to resources, ensuring that only authorized users can access certain information or systems. Active Directory also helps organize users into groups and apply security policies, simplifying management tasks in large networks. Essentially, it’s a central hub that helps maintain security and organization within a workplace's digital environment.
