Netwrix Identity Manager

Automate identity lifecycles across directories, cloud and applications

Many organisations struggle to keep account state consistent across on‑prem directories, cloud platforms and business applications. Manual provisioning or late deprovisioning creates admin overhead and increases access risk.

Where Netwrix Identity Manager is used

Automate joiner, mover and leaver processes so accounts are created, adjusted and removed according to policy rather than manual tickets. Manage large numbers of contractor and temporary accounts with rule‑based deprovisioning to limit lingering access.
