And access inconsistency across teams. ### Missed Deprovisioning = Excess Risk When access isn’t removed on time, accounts become orphaned and attackers notice. The Solution ## Automate the Entire Identity Lifecycle From start to finish, keep all of your users’ access accurate and current without constant IT involvement. Trigger birthright access on day one from your HR system, or integrate your CRM as a single source of truth for customer data in your apps and services.

Automate lifecycle management, and you’ll have one less thing to worry about. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is identity lifecycle management? Our lifecycle management is the automation of account creation and access permissions across apps and directories as users join, move, and leave organizations. ### Is identity lifecycle management relevant for CIAM use cases? Yes, it is relevant for all identity types that you manage in your enterprise. CRM systems are the source of truth for customer data, and keeping it in sync is fundamental to the customer experiences you deliver across your various channels. ### Do users need approvals for every change? Not always. You get to decide when approvals are required. For example, you can auto‑grant birthright access when a user onboards, and then require approval only for sensitive items. ### How do we keep apps in sync? You can use SCIM and REST connectors to synchronize user access with your policies, and you can leverage automatic realignment to reconcile access and entitlements as accounts drift. ### Can this work with partners and contractors? Absolutely. You can use profiles and policies to govern non‑employees with appropriate access.
