Every organization needs to create and update accounts across applications and IT infrastructure when users are onboarded or roles and responsibilities change. Manually updating user accounts and access is repetitive, time-consuming, and can result in human error. This can significantly impact an organization’s security and the time it takes to onboard a new user.

It is critical to properly manage the roles and responsibilities assigned to users, devices, or objects to ensure that they are consistent with your organization's business policies. The practice of managing roles based on structure (function, title, and geographic location) and assigning and removing rights and resources quickly and systematically is known as user or account provisioning.

Identity Provisioning solutions automate this process, eliminating error-prone manual processes and providing a consistent and efficient way to create, modify, and remove user accounts.
