The record

Purpose: Blazam is a free, open-source web interface for delegating Active Directory management to non-IT staff.
Directory management: It manages users, groups, organizational units, computers, and printers, including account unlocks, password resets, group assignments, and attribute changes.
Permissions: Reusable access levels can be applied to groups or individual users, with per-attribute and per-action permission controls.
Automation: Rule-based Active Directory actions can run in response to events or on schedules, with filters, ordered processing, conditional stops, and expiration settings.
Integrations: The site lists a REST API and webhook notification subscriptions; it also describes MFA through Cisco DUO or Google Authenticator-compatible TOTP.
Security: The documentation says passwords are encrypted at rest and in transit, connections support TLS/SSL, and the app is designed to run under an unprivileged account.
Install options: The Windows installer can install under IIS or as a standalone service, while the Linux installer supports Apache, nginx, or a standalone service.
Deployment requirement: Blazam requires Active Directory and a domain-joined Windows host, and its documentation says a well-defined OU structure is imperative for granular delegation.
Notable deployment limit: The documentation says installing Blazam on a Domain Controller is not recommended.
Database options: Documented database options include SQLite, MSSQL Express, MariaDB, MSSQL, and MySQL; the requirements page lists recommended concurrent-user ceilings for each.
API limit: API tokens inherit the permissions of the Blazam user and can currently only be created by admins for existing Blazam users.
Support: The maker lists [email protected] as its contact address.
Audience: The maker describes Blazam as designed for overworked system administrators and organizations with limited funding, and says it supports nontechnical users with tasks otherwise handled by technical staff.
