Identity Governance and Administration (IGA)

Discipline and tools for managing identity lifecycle, access requests, certifications, and policy compliance.

Definition

IGA combines provisioning, role management, access request workflows, separation-of-duties policy checks, and access certification. It provides visibility into who has access to what and why. Products include SailPoint, Saviynt, and Microsoft Entra ID Governance.

Example

An IGA tool blocks a request that would give one user both vendor-creation and payment-approval roles.

Exam tip

IGA answers 'who has access to what, and should they?'
