Safeguarding billions of login transactions each month, Auth0 delivers convenience, privacy, and security so customers can focus on innovation. Auth0 is part of Okta, The World’s Identity Company™. Auth0 lets you quickly integrate authentication and authorization for web, mobile, and legacy applications, with new Fine Grained Authorization (FGA) that goes beyond role-based access control. Authenticate users across all applications with a customized, secure, and standards-based single login. Universal Login connects users to a central authorization server. Credentials aren’t transferred across sources, which boosts security and protects against phishing and credential stuffing attacks. OAuth 2.0 recommends that only external user agents (like the browser) be used by native applications for authentication flows. Auth0’s Universal Login achieves this while enabling SSO. 1,082 Ratings Visit Website gPanel gPanel by Promevo is an all-in-one Google Workspace administration tool, developed by a Google Diamond partner, that simplifies and centralizes user management, security, and automation.

The model is least privilege: a user or an application receives the specific access its task requires and nothing more. This closes off a common attack route, since permanent local admin rights are what an attacker inherits when malware executes or a credential is stolen. Removing admin rights does not push users back into support queues. When someone needs a longer stretch of elevated work, they run an Admin Session that expires on its own. When they need only one program elevated, Run As Admin handles that alone and leaves the rest of the system unprivileged. Requests can be approved through the portal, the mobile app, or the API. Files receive an OPSWAT MetaDefender reputation check before elevation, and software that has already been vetted can clear automatically through pre-approval or the AI and Machine Learning approval engine. A single agent supports Windows, macOS, and Linux and behaves the same whether the endpoint is online or offline. Auditing and inventory are included as standard. 105 Ratings Visit Website ManageEngine ADAudit Plus ADAudit Plus helps keep your Windows Server ecosystem secure and compliant by providing full visibility into all activities.

Audit user management actions including creation, deletion, password resets, and permission changes, along with details on who did what, when, and from where. Keep track of when users are added or removed from security and distribution groups to ensure that users have the bare minimum privileges. 629 Ratings Visit Website

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros - The GUI that shows the entire summary of all the users and their permissions is an excellent way to make the administrator's life easier. - Automated reports functionality is very useful, especially in large companies. Cons - The training and webinars could use more content so that people are aware of even the most corner case features of the tool.
