Drumroll please — for a long-awaited, frequently requested solution… announcing Identity Lifecycle Management! This addition to our platform is designed to automate access provisioning and deprovisioning for joiners, movers, and leavers (JML) — taking a historically time-consuming process and transforming it into a smooth experience that improves both efficiency and security.
Why Identity Lifecycle Management matters
If you’ve ever worked in security or IT, you know the pain of manually provisioning and deprovisioning access. Every time a new employee joins, moves within, or leaves an organization, teams must ensure that employee has the right access to the right resources at the right time — and that any unnecessary or risky access is promptly removed.
ConductorOne’s new solution changes the game for JML scenarios by centralizing all access, permission, and resource data across your entire environment, from multiple identity providers (IdPs) and HR systems to SaaS apps, infrastructure, and more. This holistic view empowers businesses to automate and streamline the full lifecycle of access — dramatically reducing the time required to onboard new users or offboard leavers, while also reducing the identity attack surface.
Key use cases to drive efficiency and security
ConductorOne’s Identity Lifecycle Management solution unlocks powerful new use cases for customers looking to streamline operations and improve their security posture:
- Speed up onboarding: Automatically provision access for new joiners in just a few clicks. With dynamic access bundles based on attributes like job role or department, new users can instantly get the tools they need, without IT or security teams needing to manually create every request.
- Eliminate access creep: Ensure users have only the access they need by dynamically adjusting permissions as roles change or users leave. This reduces the risk of unnecessary or standing access that can lead to security vulnerabilities over time.
- Enforce role-based and attribute-based access control (RBAC and ABAC): Easily create and manage access bundles using RBAC and ABAC policies. Automatically enroll users in appropriate bundles based on dynamic attributes, roles, or group memberships, and remove access just as easily when roles change or users are offboarded.
- Enable temporary on-call access: Grant temporary, time-bound bundles of access to on-call or contract workers without the hassle of manual provisioning and deprovisioning. Our solution allows customers to automate the process, ensuring only authorized personnel have the right access when needed.
How it works
ConductorOne enables customers to create dynamic groups based on attributes such as job role, function, or department, and link those groups to access bundles with corresponding resources and permissions.
Every time a new user joins, they are automatically enrolled in the appropriate bundles, which include all the permissions, apps, and entitlements they need. This process ensures employees have access to the tools and resources they need to get started on day one — without bogging down your security or IT teams with endless manual requests.
If an employee changes roles, their access can be automatically adjusted or revoked based on new membership criteria in dynamic groups. Our flexible policies — including multistep approvals, auto-approvals, self-review, conditional approvals, and group-based approvals — ensure the right level of oversight is applied, every time.
When employees leave, tracking down all the accounts and permissions they’ve accumulated over their tenure can be like finding needles in a haystack — and failing to do so can leave critical security gaps.
Our new solution allows admins to centrally view and manage these accounts, with options to remove, downgrade, or suspend access with just a click. This ensures that no unwanted access lingers, reducing the risk of stolen credentials and potential breaches. This is particularly valuable for businesses with a high volume of contractors or contingent workers, where manual offboarding can be especially cumbersome.
