SaaS Manager by 1Password is an application discovery and access governance platform designed to provide IT and security teams with centralized visibility into their software environments. The system identifies sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS and AI applications to support the management of software spend, user access, and compliance. Its technical capabilities include continuous application discovery, SaaS license optimization, and automated workflows for employee onboarding and offboarding, including for applications not integrated with SSO or SCIM.
The platform functions as an identity security solution by connecting user identities to both software and hardware assets. It combines SaaS usage data, license entitlements, and access context to orchestrate administrative actions and provide a centralized catalog for employees to request access. Administrators can establish automated approval chains, define role-based access policies, and track the lifecycle of access requests. The connection to assigned devices enables IT teams to lock hardware or wipe data in conjunction with software access controls and user lifecycle management.
