Access Panel enables organizations to automate access provisioning for full-time employees based on their department and role. As part of the Identity Panel Suite, Access Panel simplifies and accelerates the onboarding process by automatically assigning new hires to default corporate resources—such as security groups, distribution lists, and collaboration spaces—immediately upon joining.
How Access Panel Automates Onboarding
When a new employee record is created—typically from an authoritative system like HR—Access Panel evaluates predefined policies that determine what access should be granted. These rules, known as Criteria Policies, use attributes like department, job title, or employment type to apply relevant entitlements. Examples of automatic provisioning include:
-
Assigning users to department-specific Microsoft 365 groups or Teams channels
-
Adding new hires to company-wide email distribution lists
-
Granting access to file shares, applications, or intranet portals
This automation ensures that employees are ready to collaborate on day one, without the need for manual ticketing or IT intervention.
Built-in Policy Controls
Access Panel offers flexible policy configuration to meet diverse organizational needs:
-
Include and Exclude Scopes: Define who is eligible for access, and exclude sensitive roles like executives if needed
-
Just-in-Time (JIT) Activation: Delay certain access until a specific trigger is met, such as a future start date
-
Attestation and Audit Trails: Monitor and review access decisions for compliance and security assurance
Policies are centrally managed, so updates—such as role changes or reorganizations—automatically apply across all entitlements.
