In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, effective Identity and Access Management (IAM) practices are integral for <a href=\"https:\/\/infrasos.com\/top-10-best-iam-tools-identity-access-management\/\">safeguarding organizations against potential threats and vulnerabilities<\/a>. One crucial aspect of IAM is user provisioning and deprovisioning, which entails granting and revoking access to resources, respectively. For large enterprises, proper organization of user provisioning becomes increasingly critical. It improves the<a href=\"https:\/\/infrasos.com\/azure-ad-conditional-access-implement-access-policies-controls\/\"> access management process<\/a>, increases the productivity, and accelerates operational efficiency. On the other hand, inefficient user provisioning\/deprovisioning brings: bad user experience, risks of slow deprovisioning, legal risks and many different security risks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-331da7f e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"331da7f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37f14a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"37f14a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.12.2 - 23-04-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/infrasos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/registration-3938434_1920.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"IAM Best Practices for User Provisioning and Deprovisioning\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTU2MzEsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9pbmZyYXNvcy5jb21cL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjNcLzEyXC9yZWdpc3RyYXRpb24tMzkzODQzNF8xOTIwLmpwZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/infrasos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/registration-3938434_1920-qgnuzbu87wtcxzpikk8ce96wq5373v1fx4i0fmadnk.jpg\" title=\"IAM Best Practices for User Provisioning and Deprovisioning\" alt=\"IAM Best Practices for User Provisioning and Deprovisioning\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7aa7f2c e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"7aa7f2c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc4f793 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bc4f793\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This article delves into best practices for user provisioning and deprovisioning, highlighting key strategies to enhance security, streamline processes, and foster a culture of <a href=\"https:\/\/infrasos.com\/leveraging-azure-ad-audit-data-for-compliance-and-reporting\/\">compliance within an organization<\/a>.
