Key Components of IGA
- Identity Lifecycle Management: Manages user identities from creation (onboarding) to modification (role changes) to deletion (offboarding).’
- Access Management: Ensures users have access only to the resources they need to do their jobs (principle of least privilege).
- Role Management: Defines roles and groups to simplify and standardize access permissions.
- Access Reviews and Certification: Periodic reviews where managers or system owners certify that users still require the access they have.
- Policy Enforcement: Applies rules for segregation of duties (SoD), access constraints, and compliance requirements.
- Audit and Reporting: Provides logs, reports, and tools to demonstrate compliance (e.g., for SOX, HIPAA, GDPR).
- Self-Service Access Requests: Allows users to request access, which can be automatically or manually approved through workflows.

- Compliance: Helps meet legal and regulatory requirements.
- Efficiency: Automates identity and access tasks to reduce manual errors and IT workload.
