Why Use YeshID Before Migrating Domains

July 15, 2025

Migrating domains is a high-risk moment for identity and access. It's the perfect time to lay the right foundation, not scramble after the fact. Here’s why starting with YeshID before the move is a smart call:

Domain migrations often break identity mappings — leading to failed logins, broken app access, and messy user duplication. With YeshID you get centralized visibility and control across all identities and apps before the domain switch. That means no scrambling after to fix broken access — you’ve already mapped what should exist.

Unified Identity Graph Makes Remapping Easier

  • YeshID builds a universal identity graph — linking accounts across apps (including ones tied to old domains).
  • When you switch domains, you don’t lose the connection between user → access → resources.
  • You maintain continuity and auditability during the transition, with no blind spots.

Pre-Migration Access Reviews Save Pain Later

  • Doing an access review before migration lets you clean up dormant accounts, unused permissions, or apps tied to the old domain.
  • That makes your domain cutover cleaner, and reduces risk from orphaned or forgotten access.

Workflows Can Smooth the Migration

You can automate the domain switch via YeshID workflows:

  • Provision new domain users across apps
  • Deprovision old domain users safely
  • Send Slack/Email notifications to users
  • Trigger verification tasks (e.g. MFA reset)
  • No more manual checklists in spreadsheets.

You’ll Never Have More Attention on Identity Than Right Now

A domain change already forces everyone to think about identity and access.
Don’t waste that momentum — use it to adopt a more future-proof, AI-native IAM foundation now.

YeshID turns domain migration from a painful IT cleanup into a secure, structured transformation. Instead of patching things reactively, you take control before the chaos hits.
