The Password Manager Self-Service site has all functionality similar to the Legacy Self-Service site with a new and improved user interface. The Password Manager Self-Service site can co-exist along with the already existing Legacy Self-Service site and it is possible to revert at any time to the Legacy Self-Service site.
To configure access to the Legacy Self-Service site, you need to configure a user scope for the Management Policy you want to use. The workflows and secret questions that you configure for the Management Policy will apply only to the user scope of this Management Policy. You can add connections to several AD LDS instances to a single user scope.
In Password Manager you can easily delegate administrative tasks to dedicated helpdesk operators. By configuring the helpdesk scope you select groups of helpdesk operators who will have access to the Helpdesk site. The Helpdesk site handles typical tasks performed by helpdesk operators, such as resetting passwords, unlocking user accounts, assigning temporary passcodes, and others.
Members of the helpdesk scope are allowed to access the Helpdesk site and manage users from the user scope of the same Management Policy only.
You can also restrict groups of helpdesk operators from accessing the Helpdesk site.
To configure a helpdesk scope, you need to add a connection to an AD LDS instance to the scope at first, and then specify groups that will be allowed or denied access to the Helpdesk site.
To manage all connections from a single place, click General Settings > AD LDS Instance Connections on the Administration site. For more information, view AD LDS Instance Connections.
