Who has access? To what, why and until when?

Make an account’s group chain, business purpose and expiry visible. Explore the Harbor Access dossier, from identity lifecycle to PAM and Zero Trust decisions.

Review question

Does old access remain; which permission comes from the nested group?

8 modules

01

Identity lifecycle: join, move and leave

Move from account tickets to verified access outcomes. Track ownership and lifecycle separately for employees, suppliers and application identities.

Beginner → intermediate → advanced
02

MFA, recovery and session security

Look beyond an MFA-enabled label. Separate evidence for enrollment, identity recovery, phishing resistance and token/session termination.

Beginner → intermediate → advanced
03

Authorization, group inheritance and separation of duties

Explain who can perform which action on a resource in the local access desk. Make nested groups, expiry and explicit denies visible.

Beginner → intermediate → advanced
04

PAM, time-bound elevation and emergency access

Review the move from standing administration to task-, target- and time-bound privilege. Connect vaulting, session evidence and emergency-access lifecycle.

Beginner → intermediate → advanced
05

Service accounts and non-human identities

Govern application, automation and AI-agent identities through ownership, purpose, federation boundaries and retirement plans.

Beginner → intermediate → advanced
06

SSO, OAuth/OIDC and token trust

Distinguish reading JWT content from validating it. Review issuer, audience, time, redirects and consent in a complete trust chain.

Beginner → intermediate → advanced
07

Access reviews and audit evidence

Turn a periodic approval list into an effective access review. Track indirect permissions, business rationale, applied outcomes and time-bound exceptions.

Beginner → intermediate → advanced
08

Zero Trust decisions and identity incident response

Assess resource, identity and context instead of trusting network location. Track token scope and application outcomes during identity incidents.

Beginner → intermediate → advanced

See why access exists, beyond the role name.

Nested groups, an expired grant and an explicit deny: compute actual model decisions from two synthetic JSON files. No packages or network needed. Results do not validate live IAM, authentication or tokens.
