Is there any software to keep track of users/people for instance in a
company department and the respective servers they can log in to?
Online based software would be preferred. But windows is also okay.

E.g. on UNIX, you have /etc/nswitch.conf, the various

Now, to manage these remotely, snmp...
Is that what you mean?

Currently, we manage users with an Excel sheet. It would be nice to
have it on a php interface instead.

I am sorry: I have nothing for you, beyond doubts.
By 'manage' here, you mean 'manage a representation'?
I.e. what you are looking for is a one-way interface?
The 'active' management would thus be the fact of
'managers' who, interpreting the representation,
would act in ways which escape the context.
I would name this CM, and not SCM.
I would consider the tool 'hardware', possibly
accidentally implemented in software.
This is indeed often the case with GUIs.
