Beyond Single Sign-On (SSO)
The ResorsIT Identity and Access Management (IAM) Solution

Most organizations get SSO and consider the identity problem solved. One login for all your apps — that’s the win. But SSO doesn’t deactivate an account when someone leaves. It doesn’t prevent an admin from accumulating permissions they no longer need. It doesn’t produce an audit trail when a compliance reviewer asks who had access to what last quarter. Those gaps are where the real identity risk lives.

Identity and Access Management is the broader discipline — and SSO is just one component of it. ResorsIT handles IAM through Authentik, an open-source identity provider that covers the full lifecycle of user access, not just the login step.

Authentication

Users log in once through Authentik and reach all integrated applications through a centralized dashboard. Multi-factor authentication is configured at the platform level, so it applies consistently across every application without needing to enable it separately in each one. External applications that support SAML or OIDC can be added to the same SSO umbrella, so the coverage extends beyond the ResorsIT platform itself.

Access Control

Administrators define what each user can reach through policy-based controls, not just broad role assignments. A contractor gets access to the tools they need and nothing else. A team member who moves to a different department gets their permissions updated without manual intervention across a dozen separate systems.

User Lifecycle

Authentik’s policy engine can automate provisioning and deprovisioning workflows. When someone joins, the right access is in place before their first day. When they leave, access is revoked through a single workflow rather than requiring manual cleanup across every application. Users can manage their own account settings and reset passwords without opening a support ticket — which reduces routine overhead on your IT team.

Compliance Logging

Every access and authentication event is logged through Authentik, giving you an audit trail without bolt-on tooling. When a reviewer asks who had access to a system and when, the answer is already there.

The IAM problem isn’t just about convenience at login. It’s about knowing who has access to what, keeping that current as people and roles change, and being able to demonstrate that to an auditor. SSO is the starting point — not the finish line.
