Governance

Control Who Gets Access. Track Everything.

Give employees a simple way to request access, route approvals to the right people, and automatically remove permissions when they expire.

Access Requests

Employees browse a service catalog and request access with a business justification — no more IT tickets.

Approval Workflows

Route requests through one or more approvers — by manager, job title, or resource owner.

Service Catalog

Define what can be requested, who owns it, and what approval chain it needs.

Access Certification

Track who has access to what, with expiration dates and automatic removal when access expires.

Time-Bound Access

Grant temporary access that automatically revokes after a set period. No more forgotten permissions.

Resource Ownership

Let service owners manage access to their own resources — without going through IT.

Access Requests

Let Employees Request What They Need

Instead of filing IT tickets and waiting, employees browse a catalog of available services and request access directly. Each request includes a business justification and gets routed automatically to the right approvers.

  • Self-service portal — no IT tickets needed
  • Business justification required for audit trails
  • Support for temporary and permanent access
  • Full visibility into request status at every stage

Approval Workflows

Route Approvals to the Right People, Automatically

Define approval chains that match your organization. Need the manager to approve first, then the resource owner? Done. Need any one of three security officers to sign off? That works too. You set the rules once and Adcyma handles the routing.

  • Multi-stage approval chains with sequential or parallel steps
  • Approve by role, manager, or specific person
  • One-of or all-of approval modes for flexibility
  • Automatic escalation when approvals are pending

Access Certification

Know Who Has Access to What — Always

Track every active permission across your organization. See when access was granted, when it expires, and who approved it. When temporary access runs out, it gets removed automatically — no cleanup needed.

  • Full assignment tracking with grant and expiry dates
  • Automatic removal when time-bound access expires
  • Complete history of approvals, grants, and revocations
  • Identify upcoming expirations before they cause issues

Service Catalog

Define Services Once, Let People Request Them

Map your organization's services and tools to Entra ID or Active Directory groups. Define who owns each service, what approval workflow it needs, and what description employees see when requesting access. Once set up, the catalog runs itself.

  • Map services to one or more Entra ID or Active Directory groups
  • Assign service owners for distributed governance
  • Attach custom approval workflows per service
  • Organize services into categories for easy browsing

Why add Governance?

Most companies start with Lifecycle Management and add Governance when they need formal access controls.

Replace ad-hoc access requests

No more Slack messages and email threads for access. Give employees a proper portal and give approvers a clear workflow.

Stay audit-ready without extra work

Every request, approval, and revocation is logged automatically. When auditors ask who approved what, you have the answer.

Temporary access that actually expires

Grant access for a project, a quarter, or a day. When the time is up, permissions are removed automatically — no manual cleanup.

Common questions about governance

Yes. Employees browse a service catalog and submit access requests with a business justification. Requests are routed to the right approvers automatically — no IT tickets needed.

You define who needs to approve each type of access request. Approvals can be sequential (manager first, then resource owner) or parallel (any one of three approvers). You set the rules once and Adcyma handles the routing.

When time-bound access reaches its expiration date, Adcyma automatically removes the permissions. No manual cleanup needed — the group memberships and access are revoked on schedule.

Yes. Governance is an add-on module that requires the Lifecycle Management base module. Together, they cover the full identity lifecycle from provisioning through access governance.

Every access request, approval decision, and revocation is logged automatically. When auditors ask who has access to what and who approved it, you can show them a complete, timestamped trail.
