Creating requests with the Self-Service Portal in On Demand Group Management

Thanks for your interesting Quest on Demand, your go-to SAS dashboard for tackling Microsoft challenges in a hybrid world. I'm Shawny Reiner, senior strategic systems consultant at Quest. In this short video tour, I'm going to explain what On Demand Group Management is and show you On Demand Group Management features. If you've taken any of the other tours, you know that ODGM is a SAS based group management tool for on-prem only, hybrid, and Azure only groups. It allows for controlled self-service creation, management, and attestation, as well as provide the administrator with a single pane for the whole hybrid environment. The Self-Service Portal is designed with the end user in mind. And creating a Group Action Request is an important function of self-service group management that ODGM makes easy and consistent for the end user. The user does not need to know or care where the group resides-- on-prem, hybrid, or Azure only-- in order to request an action, such as to join or leave it. The Gallery is a list of available groups that the user can select to join. And if the user has the appropriate permissions granted, they can choose to add a group from here as well. And of course that creation, is governed by the action permissions, policies, and approval workflows defined by admins. From the Groups page, the user can search for a group using the many available filters. They can also look at the details and descriptions of a group. And they can choose to join from here. From the New Request menu options, every available request action is listed. And again, what they can do and how they do it is governed by the group action permissions, policies, and approval workflows defined by the admin. Clicking any of the titles and then selecting an appropriate group, such as this on prem-only group, will walk the user through the selections needed. And then they simply submit the request, which will then show up on their My Activities My Requests page. With On Demand Group Management Self-Service Portal it's easy for users to self service their group ownership, management, and attestation needs, regardless of the group type or where it resides.
