Nearly any type of system or cloud account that you use will have varying levels of privileges. These privileges dictate the information and actions a user can access in that system.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is more than just about managing passwords. Ensuring only authorized users can access your business data and systems and only at the appropriate permission level is vital to cybersecurity.
Provisioning users in a hospital or healthcare system is vital to ensuring daily identity management runs smoothly. Each user needs access to the right records and digital apps to do their job efficiently. If someone needs to stop what they’re doing to request access to a system they’re locked out of, it can slow down patient care.
A big part of the identity management onboarding process with new employees is to get their user account and access to business tools provisioned. But, unfortunately, with today’s complex environments, many new employees aren’t provided credentials on their first day to things like their company email address, SaaS accounts, and other internal systems, leaving them unproductive.
One problem that companies quickly run into as they grow is how to properly provision user accounts across all downstream systems securely without running into access management roadblocks or security issues.
When your users require access to systems and applications that falls outside the normal provisioning scope, self-service is a lifesaver.
When combined with automated user provisioning, self-service accelerates IT service delivery, setting up accounts and access immediately.
