[Entra ID/LDAP Synchronization](https://smart-associates.biz/solutions/smart-access-control/) drastically reduces the overhead of maintaining Netezza database permissions manually whilst eliminating human error and enhancing the security of your Netezza system.

Features include:

- Dynamic creation/dropping of database users and groups based on synchronised Entra ID (formerly Active Directory)/LDAP master data
- Automatic addition/removal of users to/from groups, as well as granting/revoking of permissions to/from groups
