Identity governance (IGA)
Decide who should have access. Then keep it that way.
Requests, approvals, lifecycle, roles and exceptions, built on the access that actually exists.
The problem
Policy that ignores reality is just paperwork.
Roles get designed in a workshop.
Then they multiply until nobody knows what “Sales-Ops-Elevated-2” means.
Exceptions get granted in a Slack DM.
“Temporary” access turns three.
Governance breaks when approvers can't see what they're approving.
Govern Access Capabilities
Governance built on effective access.
Access Requests and App Self-Service
People get the apps they need in Slack or Teams. No portal to learn.
Approval Workflows
Route by app owner, manager or sensitivity. Simple requests move fast. Sensitive ones get a second look.
Just-in-Time Access
Access for an hour, a day or a project. It ends on time.
Lifecycle Management
Joiners, movers and leavers triggered by your HRIS, across every app, not just the SCIM-connected ones.
Role-Based Access Control
Roles built from what people in a job actually use.
Policy and Roles
Write the rules once: who gets what, when, approved by whom.
Role Change Management
New access in, old access out. Both halves.
Exception Management
Every exception has an owner, a reason and an end date.
How it works
How Govern Access works.
01
Connect your sources of truth.
HRIS, IdP and every app YeshID can see.
02
Start from what's real.
Rae suggests roles from the access people actually have and use. You decide what becomes policy.
03
Take requests where people work.
Slack or Teams, routed to the right approver.
04
Approve with context.
Approvers see what the access grants, who else has it and whether it fits policy.
05
Record every decision.
Who asked, who approved, why and when it expires.
Use cases
What teams use it for.
Day-one access
Clean role changes
Contractors with end dates
On-call production access
AI agents asking for scopes
Day-one access
A new engineer starts with the right access, without IT building it by hand.
Clean role changes
Someone moves from Sales to Customer Success. The CRM admin role goes when the new access arrives.
Contractors with end dates
Access starts with the contract and expires with it.
On-call production access
Two hours of elevated access, approved in Slack, gone when the window closes.
AI agents asking for scopes
Agents go through the same request path as people, with a named owner.
Why YeshID.
Transitional policies.
Real access is messy, so exceptions expire on their own. YeshID keeps policy separate from what's live, so a reorg can sit in a two-week transition and a temporary exception ends on schedule, without corrupting your role model.
Governance grounded in effective access.
Approvals and roles are only as good as the data under them. YeshID governs against what's real, across every app.
Identity infrastructure, not workflow automation.
Automation tools move tickets. They don't know what access exists or whether it matches policy. YeshID does.
Govern Access FAQ

What is Govern Access?
Govern Access is YeshID's policy layer: it defines who should have access, who approves it and when it ends, grounded in effective access.
Does YeshID replace my IGA tool?
For many teams, yes. YeshID covers requests, approvals, JIT, lifecycle, RBAC and reviews. If SailPoint or Saviynt has become brittle, YeshID replaces it.
Can my HRIS be the source of truth?
Yes. Joiners, movers and leavers start in your HRIS, and YeshID carries the change into every app.
Where do employees request access?
In Slack or Microsoft Teams.
How does just-in-time access work?
Access is granted for a set window and removed when the window closes. Removal is verified at the source.
Can I govern AI agents the same way?
Yes. Service accounts, OAuth apps and AI agents go through the same request, approval and ownership model as people.
Govern access the way your company actually works.
Clear policy, real exceptions and a record of every decision.
