Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for efficient and automated control of software permissions and access to network resources across a complex enterprise environment. Systems may include an access reconciliation tool that provides functionality for propagating changes to user access credentials. Credential changes may be initiated on a local computer server. Credential changes may then be pushed from the local server to a distribution system and from the distribution system to an access rights management server. The reconciliation tool may accept a secure file transfer file from the distribution system to update user's current access. The access rights management server may coordinate storage of the credential changes in a centralized database. A password management tool may be provided that synchronizes user account passwords across servers for human and non-human accounts. The password management tool may replace an agent running on each local server with automated scripting for implementing password synchronization.
