Automated provisioning is the process of automatically creating, managing, and revoking user accounts and access to applications, systems, and data. It is a key component of Identity and Access Management (IAM) and is particularly important for SaaS companies that need to manage a large number of user accounts and access to their software.
Automated provisioning in the SaaS industry involves several steps, such as user onboarding, account creation, access management, and deprovisioning. These steps can be automated using tools such as scripts, APIs, and identity management platforms, which allow SaaS companies to create and manage user accounts in a scalable and efficient manner.
Automated provisioning can improve the user experience by reducing the time and effort required to create and manage user accounts, and can improve security by ensuring that user access is properly managed and monitored. It can also help to reduce administrative costs and improve compliance with regulations and standards.
