Overview

Okta Lifecycle Management is a product within the Okta Identity Cloud that automates the entire process of managing a user's identity, from onboarding to offboarding. It integrates with HR systems as the source of truth and uses this information to create, update, and deactivate user accounts across a wide range of IT applications and systems. This ensures new hires get access to the tools they need on day one, and departing employees have their access revoked immediately, enhancing security and operational efficiency.
