Identity & Access Management (IAM), should be the core framework from which a modern firm builds its IT operations. IAM is more than just collection of security principles, although it serves effectively in that regard as well. IAM is a philosophy to empower organizations and their users through centralized provisioning, in accordance with business roles.
Identity & Access Management

Your Users
Not all users are the same. Each user is an individual, each with a certain role (identity). Identities can be multi-faceted, and granting access for your users can often get messy, and hard to keep track of.
IAM is built around the principle of standardizing access around roles in a way that is transparent, secure, and automated.
Role Based Access Control (RBAC)
The very basic idea of IAM is to create a unique profile of access for each of your business roles and automate the provisioning.
Access could include anything from applications, to physical locations, to machines, data, or workflows. The issuance of this access is typically handled by a dedicated IAM platform, which centrally integrates all your points of access.
Value
IAM is being rapidly adopted by agile firms in every industry for a reason. Your users will not always be in the same role, or working on the same initiatives.
Streamlining access management can be a major productivity boost, for managers and end-users alike.
Reorganizations and strategic alignment can be automated with IAM, making it easier than ever to be agile.
