Identity Lifecycle Management

Managing identities from creation through role changes to removal, often called joiner-mover-leaver.

Definition

Lifecycle management provisions access when a person joins, adjusts it when they move roles, and revokes it when they leave. Automating it from an authoritative source such as the HR system reduces orphaned accounts and privilege creep. It is a core IGA function.

Example

An HR-driven workflow removes old department access when an employee transfers from Sales to Finance.

Exam tip

Movers are the common gap, leading to privilege creep.
