Automated provisioning is the process of using software to automatically create, update, and remove access to applications, systems, or services based on rules.
It is commonly triggered by lifecycle events like onboarding, role changes, or offboarding. A source system (often HR or identity) sends the change, rules decide what access is needed, and provisioning actions are carried out through APIs or standards like SCIM.
Automated provisioning matters because it reduces manual setup, lowers access errors, and helps ensure access is removed when it should be, which supports security and compliance.
