Identity visibility and effective access
See what every identity can actually reach.
Your IdP knows who logged in. YeshID shows what they can do inside every app, OAuth grant, service account and AI agent.
The problem
Your directory isn't the whole story.
Access gets granted everywhere but the IdP.
A service account for an AI agent.
An admin role inside Salesforce.
A GitHub token.
A one-click OAuth app.
None of it shows up as a group in Okta or Entra.
So “who has access to this?” turns into a week of CSV exports.
Understand Access Capabilities
One graph of effective access.
Effective access is what an identity can actually do, wherever the permission lives.
Effective Access Graph
Identities, apps, roles, groups and delegated paths, and how they connect.
Access Inventory
Every account, permission and credential, including the ones the IdP never provisioned.
Blast Radius Analysis
Pick an identity and see everything it can reach, directly or inherited.
Shadow SaaS Discovery
Apps employees connected on their own, and what they're allowed to do.
AI Agent and Non-Human Identity Visibility
Service accounts, API keys, bots and agents, each tied to an owner or flagged.
App-Local Permissions
Admin and project roles that live inside the app.
Access Drift Detection
Where reality has wandered from policy.
How it works
How Understand Access works.
01
Connect every app.
IdP, HRIS, SaaS and cloud, by API, SCIM or OAuth. Apps with no integration still count.
02
Normalize.
Roles, scopes, groups and grants, translated into one model.
03
Link identities.
jsmith, John Smith and a contractor ID become one person. Every non-human identity links to its human owner.
04
Stay current.
The graph updates as people join, move and leave, and as new grants and agents appear.
05
Ask Rae.
Who can export customer data? Which OAuth apps read every inbox? Every answer traced to its source.
Use cases
What teams use it for.
Identity threat detection (ITDR)
A user gets phished. Know in minutes what the account, and every token it issued, can reach.
Offboarding validation
Confirm access is gone across apps and grants, not just disabled in the IdP.
OAuth risk
Find broad-scope apps that were approved once and never reviewed.
Audit prep
Answer "who has access to X" with a current, sourced answer.
AI agent rollout
Know which agents exist, what they touch and who owns them.
Why YeshID.
One graph, human and agentic.
Other vendors sell separate products for people and non-human identities. YeshID puts both on one graph, so every agent and service account traces back to a person.
It reaches the long tail.
The riskiest access lives in the app with no SCIM, the admin role inside one tool, the OAuth grant from 2022. YeshID connects to all of it.
Honest numbers.
No dashboard bragging about 1,000 shadow apps. Just the ones that matter, ranked by what they can do.

What is Understand Access?
Understand Access is YeshID's visibility layer: one continuously updated graph of effective access across people, service accounts, OAuth grants and AI agents.
What is effective access?
Effective access is what an identity can actually do across your systems, not just what your IdP says. It includes app-local roles, OAuth scopes, nested groups and delegated access.
How is this different from my IdP?
Your IdP manages sign-in and the groups it provisions. It can't see roles created inside apps, OAuth grants between apps, or credentials created outside it.
Do I need to replace Okta or Entra?
No. YeshID runs alongside Okta, Entra, Ping, JumpCloud or Google Workspace.
Does it cover AI agents and service accounts?
Yes. Non-human identities sit on the same graph as people, each linked to an owner.
What about apps without an API or SCIM?
They're included. The long tail is where access hides, so it's part of the graph.
How current is the graph?
It updates continuously as access changes, not on a quarterly export.
