Driven by the source record
Changes in the HR system or directory trigger the lifecycle, so the process starts from authoritative data rather than a ticket.
Joiners, movers and leavers, handled automatically
Automated provisioning and de-provisioning across every connected application, driven by the identity record rather than a checklist.
The riskiest moments in an identity’s life are the transitions. Lifecycle management drives provisioning from the source record, so a joiner gets what their role grants, a mover loses what their old role granted, and a leaver is removed everywhere at once instead of system by system.
How Lifecycle Management works
The mechanics behind the capability — what the platform does, and where it does it.
Provisioning and write-back
Create, update and disable accounts in connected applications, and write attributes back where the target supports it.
Movers lose the old access
A role change removes what the previous role granted, which is the step most manual processes skip.
One de-provisioning action
Because access, governance and privilege share a fabric, removing a leaver removes their standing privilege at the same moment.
What it changes
Who feels the difference once Lifecycle Management is in place, and how.
Security
No access left behind
The gap where a leaver is disabled in one tool and still active in another simply does not open.
Line managers
Productive on day one
Joiners have what they need when they start, instead of a week of incremental requests.
Governance
Accumulation stops
Privilege creep is largely the result of movers keeping old access; automating removal addresses the cause.
IT operations
Less manual administration
The per-system checklist disappears, and with it the errors that come from running it by hand.
See Lifecycle Management in context
It works because the other capabilities share the same identity fabric. The quickest way to judge that is to watch it run against your own use cases.
