Okta Lifecycle Management automates employee identity changes by connecting HR systems with IT infrastructure. It imports identities from HR systems and directories to help manage joiner, mover, and leaver processes for an organization’s extended workforce. Workday, BambooHR, and SuccessFactors are named as example HR sources. Automated provisioning supports thousands of apps through SCIM. Policies can grant or remove access for groups based on dates, inactivity, and other conditions. When an employee changes departments, mover processes can remove old permissions and add new ones. Reports show who can access an app, which apps a person can access, and who was recently deprovisioned. The cloud-based product supports web, API, self-hosted, Linux, macOS, and Windows environments. Essentials costs $17 a month per user when billed annually and includes Lifecycle Management and 50 Workflows; Workforce Identity has a $1,500 annual contract minimum. Lifecycle Management is also listed as an add-on to Starter, with price available from sales. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
