A lot of startups, like the one I work in, use a lot of third-party SaaS services as part of their day-to-day job. Services like Google Apps, AWS, Slack, Salesforce GitHub, Atlassian Suite, etc. are commonplace. The ITOps teams, however, have to live the nightmare of managing access to all of these different tools and services - especially during onboarding and offboarding. Add to this mix internal services such as VPN, SSH Servers, internal tools, etc., it becomes almost impossible to handle access control manually. Faced with this very same problems, we created a tool called Concierge. Concierge aims to be the one-stop-shop for all access control related solutions - sync with the HR directory, automatically sync with AD/LDAP and add people to appropriate groups, as well as grant access to various tools and services based on their roles, and provide the ITOps team a holistic view of who has access to what. Concierge also revokes access upon offboarding, role change, or any other event as necessary.
