Automating Provisioning and Deprovisioning
Creating and removing access without relying on manual tasks
Automating provisioning and deprovisioning connects human resources systems with identity systems, so that when someone is hired, changes roles or leaves the company, their access is automatically created, adjusted or removed in all relevant systems without depending on an IT technician manually processing a request by email or ticket. This matters in practice because manual processes are prone to delays and oversights, especially in deprovisioning, where a departure processed by human resources can take days to be reflected in every system if it depends on someone remembering to carry out each step, leaving a window of improper access for a disgruntled former employee. A concrete example is an employee dismissed on a Friday afternoon, where an automated workflow disables their email account, VPN access and permissions in critical applications within minutes, instead of waiting until the following Monday when the IT team processes the request manually.
