What is Identity Governance and Administration?

Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) is a category of technologies and processes that manage digital identities and their access rights across an organization's IT systems and applications. It ensures that the right individuals have the right access to the right resources at the right time and for the right reasons. IGA solutions typically include features such as user provisioning, access certification, role management, password management, and audit reporting. They are used to improve security, compliance, and operational efficiency by automating identity-related tasks and providing visibility into user access privileges.
