Oh wow. You are a beast. That totally worked. I added permissions in the delegation for phone numbers, addresses, etc. but it definitely worked great. Thanks.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Our company recently moved and we have multiple employees now spread across 'everywhere'. I want to give one of our administrative assistants access to AD to only be able to update user's addresses, phone numbers and department/company, etc. This is a user that should not have access to any other kind of functions in AD... I also would prefer that this person not actually log on to the server itself, if at all possible.<br />
<br />
Is there any kind of third party tool that can connect to AD to do this?<br />
<br />
Since it is data entry intensive, I want to dish this job out to an admin, asst.<br />
<br />
Thanks EE community!

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
