The professional directory service for VNClagoon
VNCdirectory enables the full VNClagoon software stack to be used with Single-Sign-On (SSO) and one set of credentials. With VNCdirectory, the creation and management of new users boils down to a few clicks in one centralized admin-interface in contrast to adding the user in each application. It provides user provisioning procedures for all VNClagoon products, also integrated with external directories.
Manage all users (their user information and contact details), accounts, group memberships, permissions and access in VNCdirectory. Create, change and deactivate users of all subscribed VNClagoon products in one central place.
Users can be managed in organisations, departments and teams with granular roles and permissions.
The VNClagoon Start Page, from where you can navigate to the VNClagoon products you are subscribed to, is also managed within VNCdirectory.
Optionally, VNCdirectory includes an ITIL-based Helpdesk module, with which you can manage your VNClagoon support tickets professionally.
