Streamlined automation all the way from on-boarding to exit.

User Lifecycle Management (ULM) refers to the process of managing the various stages of a user's interaction with an organization’s systems or services, from initial registration to account deactivation. It involves creating, updating, and deleting user accounts, as well as managing roles, permissions, and access rights throughout their lifecycle for security and compliance.

Akku lets you designate a centralized platform, like Akku Cloud Directory, Active Directory, or your HRMS, as the authoritative user store. All roles and permission rules are defined and managed based on this single source for consistent, seamless user access control.

Akku automates user provisioning through birthright access and role-based permissions. When a new account is created, users automatically receive access to common applications and relevant systems based on predefined roles, eliminating manual configuration errors and saving administrative time. And when a user is assigned to a specific role, they are provisioned appropriate access permissions for the applications associated with that role.

Akku allows administrators to define access rules for each role. When users are assigned a role, the platform auto-provisions access to required applications according to those rules, ensuring consistent, scalable, and secure user access control throughout the organization.

Yes, Akku supports one-click reassignment of roles. When a user is promoted or transferred, access rights are updated automatically based on the new role’s defined policies, ensuring timely and accurate access without the risk of privilege accumulation.

Akku offers one-click deprovisioning to instantly revoke all user access upon exit. It ensures no leftover credentials or application access remain active. However, temporary, limited access can be enabled - for instance, to payroll, for procedural compliance if predefined by admin rules.

Akku supports user-initiated access change requests. These are routed through an approval workflow, where the user’s manager must approve the request. This ensures accountability and zero-trust principles are maintained without compromising productivity or organizational data integrity.

Akku can be configured to use your HRMS as the source of truth for user management. This allows for synchronized, real-time updates of user data and role assignments, streamlining onboarding, promotions, and offboarding processes across departments.

Akku allows temporary suspension of user access with quick revocation and restoration. This is useful for situations like extended leave or compliance investigations, ensuring secure, reversible control without needing to delete or recreate user accounts.

Akku primarily supports role-based access tied to a single role per user. However, users can request additional access as needed via formal workflows, ensuring any deviation from standard role-based provisioning is monitored, tracked, and approved securely.
