Home Folder Lifecycle Plugin

Benefits

The tenfold Home Folder Lifecycle Plugin is used for managing the lifecycles of user directories (home folders). It automates routine tasks, like generating a new home folder when a new user account is being created.
Another example is, for instance, when a staff member switches to a different office, the plugin will automatically transfer that person’s home folder to the file server at the new location; and, if the person decides to leave the company, the folder is automatically archived and later deleted.
This saves the administrator from having to conduct tedious (but necessary) tasks manually each time a new person enters or leaves the company. It also significantly reduces the potential for errors.
