The SharePoint AD Self Service web part streamlines users' ability to edit and update their personal Active Directory account data within a clear, intuitive SharePoint interface.
To make changes, users need to enter their username and password and navigate to the AD Self Service web part on the SharePoint page. The web part detects the current login user and domain and retrieves their information from AD, displaying it on the web part. Users can modify their information and save the changes with a single click.
One of the most significant benefits of the SharePoint AD Self Service web part is the control it provides to IT administrators. They can manage which properties can be changed and by whom, and configure settings in SharePoint Central Administration to limit user access to certain properties. They can also delete existing tabs or properties, change display names, or add new properties according to specific requirements.
In addition, Domain Admins can configure an AD property as editable or read-only, or hide it completely. The appearance of AD properties is customizable, with the option to choose between simple text boxes, dropdown menus that can be populated manually by the administrator or looked up from another SharePoint list.
The web part supports Drag and Drop functionality, making it easy to modify the layout and setup of tabs and properties. Overall, the SharePoint AD Self Service web part is a powerful tool for managing Active Directory account information effortlessly, tailored to meet the needs of both users and IT administrators.
