Proactive, security-driven governance built for the modern enterprise

Yes, Okta Identity Governance allows admins to schedule periodic access certifications. Managers and resource owners receive automated notifications to review and confirm user permissions. This proactive approach helps address privilege creep and provides the documented evidence auditors require to verify that sensitive systems are accessed only by authorized individuals.

Okta Identity Governance automates access requests through its self-service portal and via integrations with 3rd-party tools such as Slack or Teams. Employees can request access to specific applications, entitlements, groups, and more, and Okta automatically routes the request to the correct manager or resource owner for approval. This helps ensure that access is granted quickly for productivity while maintaining a complete, auditable record of the approval process.

Okta Identity Governance improves efficiency by replacing manual, spreadsheet-based access reviews with automated workflows. By empowering employees to request their own access and automating the certification cycle, IT teams can save hundreds of hours every quarter, allowing them to focus on high-value security projects instead of administrative compliance tasks.

Entitlements in Okta Identity Governance allow for fine-grained control over what a user can actually do within an application, such as 'Admin' vs. 'Viewer' roles in Salesforce. OIG manages these entitlements as part of the unified user profile, ensuring that when an employee's role changes, their specific permissions within downstream apps are automatically updated or revoked.

Okta Identity Governance transforms access governance from an IT bottleneck into a foundational security layer and powerful business accelerator. Trusted to manage human and non-human identities reliably across the world’s most demanding organizations, OIG intelligently automates the entire identity lifecycle so your users have access to critical tools the moment they need them. While it speeds up the business, it simultaneously mitigates risk by proactively reducing standing access and continuously enforcing least-privilege principles. By fusing dynamic provisioning with real-time, risk-based controls, OIG helps ensure your organization moves faster while remaining highly secure at a global scale.
