User Account Provisioning (UAP) refers to the process used to manage user accounts across multiple systems and devices. It provides centralized management of user identities and passwords and helps prevent unauthorized use of resources. Manual or Delegated User Account Provisioning typically requires the IT department to handle all Provisioning. A new hire, for example, will have to be granted access to specific files, documents, and systems depending on their position. Doing so manually is a slow process that is also prone to errors. In addition, when an employee leaves, deprovisioning them requires revoking all rights and removing or deactivating their account. Automating user account provisioning can help free up IT staff while increasing the organization’s security. With Automated User Account Provisioning, provisioning actions are automatically triggered when information is changed in a “source system,” such as an HR or SIS system, which then serves as a “single point of truth.” If, for example, an employee is promoted, the Automated User Account Provisioning software will detect the change in the organization’s HR system (the source). Once detected, the change will be automatically synchronized to the downstream systems (the targets). This significantly speeds up account management and makes it simple, secure, and cost-effective.
