Identity Lifecycle Management

ILM

Identity Lifecycle Management is the process of managing a digital identity from creation through changes to eventual deactivation — covering the Joiner, Mover, and Leaver stages.

⚙️ How Does It Work?

Triggered by HR events (hire, transfer, termination), the IAM/IGA system automates account creation, role changes, and deprovisioning across all connected systems.

📍 Where Is It Used?

Any enterprise with employees, contractors, and partners accessing digital resources.

💡 Real-World Example

When an employee transfers from Sales to Finance, the HR system update triggers automatic removal of Salesforce access, addition of SAP Finance access, and an access review request — all within hours, without IT tickets.
