What Cayosoft Administrator is
Cayosoft Administrator gives IT teams a unified console for managing Active Directory, Entra ID, Microsoft 365, Exchange, Teams, and Intune across on-premises, cloud-only, hybrid, multi-domain, and multi-forest environments.

Group lifecycle capabilities include dynamic membership rules, delegated ownership, self-service workflows, certification, and attestation. It supports Okta integrated SSO and HR integrations, with Workday covered in connection-account documentation. Additional capabilities include auditing, reporting, password self-service, and detection of credential theft, privilege abuse, and directory attacks, plus automated response.
