Nucleus is able to run on Active Directory security or on its own stand alone administration and permission interface. Our advice is to have a staff member be a super user of Nucleus and control permissions to all the different modules and features.

Active Directory is an offline application that provides authentication. The server Nucleus is running on would be configured to use the Active Directory server as an authentication platform based on a technology called Kerbos. If this option is chosen, it will require some on-site time, potentially some firewall configuration time, and of course testing time, as it is using external authentication (whereas Nucleus generally uses its own authentication scheme which is simpler for Nucleus to implement as it controls the whole process). The time required would relate specifically to network topology of the AD server environment, as well as the location that Nucleus is hosted.
