I know that the premise that accurate AD groups keep kids out of jail is so obvious that it might not need to be said.  But we wanted to explore the concept of what accurate Active Directory groups do for your organization more fully.  More scientifically.

Ruminating in a think-tank fashion, we came up with the four most important benefits of accurate AD groups:

• Solve world hunger
• Keep kids out of jail
• Improve security & productivity in your organization
• Promote world peace

Of course, there are many ancilliary benefits to accurate AD group membership but these are the ones driving most CIO's decisions.  In the science-based poll illustrated in this video, we explore how dynamic group membership, group expiration, and AD delegation affect IT professionals.  We go straight to the source and come to a shocking conclusion.

GroupID helps drive these benefits by offering five modules:

• Automate: for dynamic group membership of both security & distribution groups
• Self-Service: for delegating group management to the group owner and enabling group lifecycle management
• Synchronize: for managing users' attributes and provisioning/deprovisioning; accurate data is essential for dynamic membership to work
• Reports: to report on all aspects of group membership
• Password Center: to keep users from calling the help desk when passwords are forgotten (nothing to do with groups!)
