Automate Onboarding & Offboarding

Automate user lifecycles across their apps. Okta Lifecycle Management can help.

 

Automate lifecycles comprehensively

Organizations spend an inordinate amount of time onboarding and offboarding employees, which can lead to incorrect access for users and a decline in productivity for IT teams.

Automate account actions

Set unique rules for account creation, updates, and deactivation on each application.

Manage employees

Trigger changes from HR or IT systems. Better yet, connect the two to synchronize data between HR and IT.

Manage contractors and partners

Set policies to handle lifecycles of users who are typically not in the same data stores as employees.

Medallia reduced the hours the IT team spent on provisioning by integrating Okta, Workday, and Active Directory to help automate user onboarding and offboarding.

Okta acted as a bridge between Hendrick's IT and HR teams by providing automated provisioning and deprovisioning for IT in conjunction with HR’s employee management through Workday.

Flinders integrated Okta, their on-prem student information system, and their learning management system to automatically grant and remove access for staff, faculty, and students.

Deprovision + recuperate software licenses, saving money

Make IT admins productive

Relieve your IT team from manual provisioning work (e.g. creating, deactivating accounts)

Facilitate audit + compliance efforts

Maintain a centralized record of how a user got access to a resource, and easily generate reports of access
