Organizations that manage large numbers of users need to have an efficient and secure system in place for provisioning and deprovisioning them. Without such a system, it would be very difficult to keep track of which users have access to which resources, and to ensure that all users have the correct permissions. An Identity and Access Management (IAM) system can help with this, by providing a centralized way to provision and deprovision users. The following is a checklist of things to consider when setting up an IAM system for user provisioning and deprovisioning.

• Define roles and responsibilities for user provisioning and deprovisioning
• Define the business requirements for IAM user provisioning and deprovisioning.
• Develop process and procedures for user provisioning and deprovisioning
