I saw some of the presentations here at CA world about the new interface for users to go in and request access and have their portal look really good. It's just a matter of us upgrading to that. The new user interface on the user side looks good, apparently it's not quite there yet on the admin side. To see something like that on the admin side would be amazing. If we were to add a new active directory group for someone to request access to, we have to build account templates and things like that for it. It's a very manual process that needs to be done ahead of time. With the newer version, you can actually go from the requester view. The requester can type in the name of the AD group he wants access to, and it will add that to the system in real time. Then it'll go through whatever approval we've setup saying that if you add a new AD group you would get managed professionally.
