The Northern Region dealership wants to extend temporary access to this information to its sales force as well, because many prospective buyers are asking questions raised by recent news articles. The dealership's delegated NetPoint access administrator makes the change, and it takes effect immediately without affecting all the other dealerships. Changing access policies is easy using NetPoint's Web-based access manager user interface, and the changes take effect automatically, in real time. Access privileges can be quickly changed again when the recall issue is resolved. Don't confuse Oblix NetPoint with directories.
Directories are simply repositories of information.
They don't enforce security policies. And they can't keep themselves current. Oblix NetPoint isn't a directory and it doesn't have a proprietary directory of its own. It works with industry-standard LDAP directories and uses the identity and policy information in them to manage user access to Web resources. It isn't a portal.
