Overview

License governance breaks down when user data is incomplete, outdated, or siloed. This session will cover the full scope of User Management in OpenLM: how to view, create, and edit users, groups, email aliases, user aliases, and workstations — and how to keep that data accurate by connecting it directly to your organization’s Active Directory. Whether your environment has a few dozen engineers or several thousand, this session lays out a practical, scalable approach to staying in control.

Key Takeaways

• Understand how Users, Groups, email aliases, user aliases, and workstations are structured and managed within OpenLM
• Explore the Personal Dashboard and what it surfaces — usage history, assigned licenses, and individual-level insights
• Learn how the Directory Synchronization Service (DSS) pulls data from Active Directory to enrich existing user records and bring new users into OpenLM automatically

Question We’ll Answer:

• What visibility does the Personal Dashboard provide into individual license consumption?

Conclusion:

User Management isn’t just an administrative function — it’s the foundation that makes accurate license tracking possible. By connecting OpenLM to Active Directory through DSS and giving both administrators and end users visibility through the Personal Dashboard, organizations move from reactive license management to a fully informed, continuously synchronized approach. This session will give you the blueprint to get there.
