# Active Directory Security Delegation Simplify and Active Directory Security Delegation with role-based access controls in ADManager Plus. We offer a free 30-day trial for peace of mind. ## Efficient Active Directory Security Delegation With ADManager Plus ADManager Plus provides AD security delegation by using role-based permission management to ensure efficient [Active Directory administration](https://www.manageengine.com/uk/products/ad-manager/windows-active-directory-administration-tool.html?utm_source=admp&utm_medium=feature-page&utm_content=role-based-delegation). A role is a logical grouping of permissions based on common security administration tasks. Access Control Lists (ACLs) hold the permissions associated with Active Directory objects. Access Control Entries (ACEs) of an object determine the security principals and the associated permissions. Creating security roles is much simpler than manipulating Access Control Lists (ACLs). The security roles can be easily and consistently delegated to more than one user, computer or a group. This minimises errors and ensures uniformity in delegating security permissions besides making delegation a simple, trouble-free activity. This is not the case when Active Directory security delegation is attempted using the native AD tools or PowerShell. This web-based [Active Directory security delegation](https://www.manageengine.com/uk/products/ad-manager/windows-active-directory-helpdesk-delegation.html?utm_source=admp&utm_medium=feature-page&utm_content=role-based-delegation) tool makes it simple and secure to assign even critical tasks, such as managing groups or granting remote logon permissions, without compromising control. ## Benefits of Using ADManager Plus for AD Security Delegation ADManager Plus streamlines Active Directory security delegation, allowing IT teams to assign precise permissions without compromising security or control.
