Overview
Our Unified API simplifies IAM integration and governance, enabling seamless management of identities across multiple providers. By offering standardized endpoints for users, roles, groups, and policies, our API empowers organizations to implement consistent access control regardless of the underlying identity platforms. Whether conducting automated user access reviews, synchronizing user profiles across systems, or enforcing role-based access controls, our Unified API provides the flexibility and standardization needed to optimize security operations effectively.
Benefits of the IAM API
Here are some benefits of using our IAM API that simplifies and strengthens identity management:
Key Features
The table below shows key features of the IAM API that make identity and access management more efficient, from real-time synchronization to comprehensive user control:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Comprehensive User Management | Easily create, update, and retrieve user profiles, including personal information, roles, and permissions. |
| Role, Policy, and Permission Management | List and manage roles, assign permissions, and define access control policies for various resources. |
| Group Management | Organize users into groups, assign roles and permissions, and manage group memberships. |
| Resource Access Control | Control access to resources and ensure users have the appropriate permissions for their roles. |
Entity Model and Relationships
The following diagram illustrates the key entities within the IAM API:
The following table outlines key entities within the IAM system and provides a brief description of each:
| Entity | Description |
|---|---|
| Users | Represents individuals with system access, including their personal information, username, email, status, activity timestamps, and multi-factor authentication settings. |
| Roles | Defines sets of permissions and access levels that can be assigned to users or groups, with types such as admin, viewer, editor, etc. |
| Groups | Organizes users into collections for easier management, with properties like name, description, type (team, department, organization, etc.), and hierarchical relationships. |
| Policies | Contains rules that define access controls, with associated permissions determining what actions can be performed. |
| Permissions | Specifies the allowed actions on resources, such as read, read_write, approve, delete, etc. |
| Resources | Represents the objects that users can access, such as files, folders, projects, or other system components that are protected by permissions. |
