What is Human Access
Human Access automates the access lifecycle for your people: onboarding, provisioning, requests, access reviews and offboarding.
Human Access is the Cakewalk module that governs the access your people hold. It runs the full lifecycle: a new hire gets the right Apps on day one, access follows role changes, and offboarding removes every seat. For the platform story and how it pairs with Agent Access, see What is Cakewalk.
🔥 The Problem
New hires wait days for the right apps while IT provisions by hand.
Role changes leave people with too much access or too little, often discovered only during audits.
Departing employees keep shadow access to apps holding sensitive data.
Compliance teams chase spreadsheets to prove who has access to what.
Employees route around slow processes, and shadow IT grows.
🧁 How Human Access Solves It
Human Access is built around three pillars. See Access Governance Pillars for the full picture.
Consolidate: every identity, app and permission in one system of record. App discovery finds what your identity provider can't see, and the User directory syncs from your company's HRIS or IdP.
Automate: joiner-mover-leaver (JML) flows grant, adjust and revoke access as people join, move and leave. Agent Cake, Cakewalk's AI provisioning agent, creates and removes accounts without SCIM.
Guide: employees request access in Slack or the web app, approvals follow your company's policies and access reviews keep entitlements aligned with least privilege.
