Joiners, Movers, Leavers - JML

Last Updated
December 18, 2023

Organisations often have hundreds if not thousands of applications that all require some form of user management, Cutover is no different. From a control point of view, automating the user management, especially when users move within or leave the organisation is hugely important to ensure that they don't retain any privileges that are no longer required.

Solution

The Cutover API allows you to efficiently manage your Joiners, Movers, Leavers process. Let’s break this down:

Manage your onboarding process

We have various endpoints to not only provision users, apply all the relevant roles required and also manage the roles of your users. Here are some options on how you can use these API’s in your organisation today, trigger the endpoint to create a user from a HR system that gives instant access to new joiners or you can build a request form that triggers the creation of a user.

Movers process

The Sync roles for a user API can be used to revoke current role access. You can also provide new role access for staff moving to a new department or if they have been promoted.

Leavers Process

The Cutover API can be used to immediately revoke user access. The List Users API can be used to identify which users need archiving. This can be triggered off a third party system that manages the lifecycle of a user.

Key Benefits
Automate manual JML process
Timely revoking of users
Ensure privileges a user has been approved for is what has been provisioned

Available endpoints
List Users

This endpoint retrieves attributes associated with multiple users. This is a great way of keeping a record of your users before you initiate the archive.

Sync Roles for a User

This endpoint allows you to create, update and delete user roles. Using Get Roles for a user, the response from the API can be used in sync roles for a user to reapply roles. Just in case you accidentally archive an active user you have the ability to roll back.

Get Roles for a user

This endpoint retrieves the roles associated with a single user. This is a great way of keeping a record of the roles the users have before you initiate the archive.

Update a User

This endpoint allows you to update the attributes of a user. This can be used to change surnames, mobile numbers etc.

Archive a User

This operation archives a user in your instance by ID or email address. Archived users will no longer have any sort of access to your instance or receive any kind of communications.

Create a new user

This endpoint creates a new user in your instance. This endpoint can be used to apply roles relevant to the user.
