These users will be delegated a specific help desk role to manage multiple directories and applications that are assigned to them. From a centralized console, the delegated roles for these technicians can be enabled or disabled, and their delegated roles, directories, and applications can be modified.

Why do you need
to delegate management tasks to users?

Reduced workload

By delegating management tasks to technicians, the workload for IT admins can be decreased, mitigating burnout, and boosting job satisfaction.

Enhanced response time

Technicians will address user requests and resolve issues swiftly, leading to reduced response time and improved efficiency compared to administrators.

More focus on crucial issues

IT admins can focus on high-priority concerns like fortifying security and improving IT infrastructure, while the technicians handle routine activities.

Cost-beneficial approach

Handling day-to-day tasks demands more workforce, and since higher compensation is needed for IT admins, delegating these responsibilities to other technicians can be a cost-effective solution.

Optimized resource utilization

Delegation ensures that the right people are handling the right tasks at the right time, which promotes better utilization of IT resources.

Why does your organization need delegation?

Delegating management activities to a specialized team of technicians in your organization ensures enhanced user experience as issues are promptly resolved, enabling employees to remain productive. IT admins won't have to worry about delays in resolving critical issues as they can allocate time to address them without being burdened by lower-priority tasks. This promotes streamlined IT management and risk mitigation. Having help desk technicians adhere to standardized procedures to handle common IT issues ensures consistency in issue resolution.
