- After account is provisioned, automatically configure Gmail forwarding to an email address stored in an LDAP attribute, thus greatly improving end-user experience by eliminating the need for users to do configuration on their own
- During account provisioning, assign a predefined user password allowing the administrators to better utilize their time elsewhere
