Question 1

What is identity governance and administration (IGA)?

Accepted Answer

Identity governance and administration (IGA) is the set of policies, processes, and technology used to decide who should have access to which resources, provision that access, review it, and remove it when it's no longer appropriate.

Question 2

What is the difference between IAM and identity governance?

Accepted Answer

Identity and access management (IAM) authenticates identities and controls access. Identity governance adds the policy, approvals, lifecycle management, access reviews, and audit evidence needed to keep that access appropriate over time.

Question 3

What are the core capabilities of an IGA platform?

Accepted Answer

Core IGA capabilities include identity lifecycle management, access requests, automated provisioning and deprovisioning, access reviews, role and policy management, separation-of-duties controls, remediation, and audit reporting.

Question 4

How is AI-native identity governance different from legacy IGA?

Accepted Answer

AI-native identity governance uses live identity and access data to build decision context and automate routine work, instead of relying on static rules and manual review. C1.ai keeps people responsible for judgment calls while policy handles approved, repeatable cases automatically.

Question 5

How does C1.ai automate joiner, mover, and leaver (JML) workflows?

Accepted Answer

C1 Identity Governance turns identity changes in connected HR and directory systems into policy, approval, provisioning, and revocation steps for every joiner, mover, and leaver. The triggering event, resulting actions, and final status stay connected in one workflow.

Question 6

Can C1.ai govern human and non-human identities together?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The C1.ai identity graph connects workforce identities, service accounts, workloads, and AI agents to their accounts, entitlements, owners, and access paths, so teams can apply one consistent governance model across every identity type.
