Quest Active Roles is the identity-lifecycle component of Quest Identity Security and Resilience, the protection-focused solution within the Quest Security Management Platform. It handles least-privilege delegation across hybrid Active Directory and Entra ID, drives automated provisioning and deprovisioning, and keeps a full change audit trail for every action it takes. LeadThem Consulting has run Active Roles in client environments since 2005, and we deliver the training program that turns the product documentation into operating fluency.
Four courses are offered. Each is available as live instructor-led training (ILT) or as self-paced student-led training (SLT) through the virtual training center.
