Active Directory (AD)

Active Directory (AD) is a system used by organizations to manage and organize their digital resources, such as user accounts, computers, and services. It acts like a digital directory or address book, helping IT teams control who can access what, assign permissions, and ensure security across a company's network. AD simplifies administration by providing a centralized platform to manage all resources and user identities consistently. It facilitates efficient collaboration, access control, and authentication, making sure only authorized individuals can access specific data or systems within the organization.
