Microsoft's IAM Automation and AI product manages the entire identity lifecycle by automating the creation, modification, and deactivation of user accounts and their corresponding access permissions. It uses automated workflows for provisioning, deprovisioning, access requests, and periodic certification campaigns, routing entitlements to designated reviewers and logging decisions for auditing and compliance reporting. The system employs AI to analyze access patterns, discover roles, and provide recommendations for access decisions and governance rule refinement. It also detects anomalies in identity behavior and dynamically applies access policies based on assessed risk and context, automatically enforcing stronger controls or access denials when warranted.
