Centralize User Identity Management into a Single Source of Truth

Akku allows you to configure and define the platform you intend to use as your source of truth for user management. This could be your user store such as Akku Cloud Directory or Active Directory, or a separate software platform such as your HRMS. You can then define your different user roles and permission rules on Akku for seamless user lifecycle management.

Centralize User Identity Management into a Single Source of Truth

Automate User Onboarding and Access Provisioning

No more manual assignment of permissions for every application to each individual user - with Akku, you can now initiate the user lifecycle by auto-provisioning access for your users as you create their accounts. Access permissions can be set up through birthright provisioning upon entry to automatically provide access to common applications that every user will need. And, once the user is assigned to a role, user lifecycle management is streamlined with Akku enabling role-based provisioning of access based on the rules defined for each role.

Automate User Onboarding and Access Provisioning

Implement Role-based Access Control (RBAC) and Approval Workflows

When users are promoted or take up a new role, their access permissions need to be updated to suit their new position. Akku makes user access lifecycle management effortless - through promotions, transfers, or special projects - with one-click reassignment of roles, and re-provisioning of access based on the updated role. Similarly, in case of temporary suspension of access for any reason, both revocation and restoration of access are achieved in seconds.

Implement Role-based Access Control (RBAC) and Approval Workflows

Enable Faster Access Requests, Smarter Approvals

In the course of their work, your users may require additional access beyond the standardized permissions provided by their role. Akku allows for change requests from users at any stage of the user lifecycle, and ensures no compromise on security by enforcing an approval workflow with the user’s manager needing to confirm their approval of such requests.

Enable Faster Access Requests, Smarter Approvals

Streamline Offboarding with One-Click Deprovisioning at Exit

A user’s exit from your organization needs to be handled with care to ensure that no residual access permissions remain active after off-boarding. Akku streamlines this final stage of user lifecycle management with one-click user deprovisioning to comprehensively revoke access for a user. Additionally, rules can be defined to permit certain limited access - to payroll, for example - for a predefined period after exit to enable the completion of any procedural formalities.

User Lifecycle Management (ULM) refers to the process of managing the various stages of a user's interaction with an organization’s systems or services, from initial registration to account deactivation. It involves creating, updating, and deleting user accounts, as well as managing roles, permissions, and access rights throughout their lifecycle for security and compliance.
Akku lets you designate a centralized platform, like Akku Cloud Directory, Active Directory, or your HRMS, as the authoritative user store. All roles and permission rules are defined and managed based on this single source for consistent, seamless user access control.
Akku automates user provisioning through birthright access and role-based permissions. When a new account is created, users automatically receive access to common applications and relevant systems based on predefined roles, eliminating manual configuration errors and saving administrative time. And when a user is assigned to a specific role, they are provisioned appropriate access permissions for the applications associated with that role.
Akku allows administrators to define access rules for each role. When users are assigned a role, the platform auto-provisions access to required applications according to those rules, ensuring consistent, scalable, and secure user access control throughout the organization.
Yes, Akku supports one-click reassignment of roles. When a user is promoted or transferred, access rights are updated automatically based on the new role’s defined policies, ensuring timely and accurate access without the risk of privilege accumulation.
Akku offers one-click deprovisioning to instantly revoke all user access upon exit. It ensures no leftover credentials or application access remain active. However, temporary, limited access can be enabled - for instance, to payroll, for procedural compliance if predefined by admin rules.
Akku supports user-initiated access change requests. These are routed through an approval workflow, where the user’s manager must approve the request. This ensures accountability and zero-trust principles are maintained without compromising productivity or organizational data integrity.
Akku can be configured to use your HRMS as the source of truth for user management. This allows for synchronized, real-time updates of user data and role assignments, streamlining onboarding, promotions, and offboarding processes across departments.
Akku allows temporary suspension of user access with quick revocation and restoration. This is useful for situations like extended leave or compliance investigations, ensuring secure, reversible control without needing to delete or recreate user accounts.
Akku primarily supports role-based access tied to a single role per user. However, users can request additional access as needed via formal workflows, ensuring any deviation from standard role-based provisioning is monitored, tracked, and approved securely.
