Ask HN: A tool/SaaS to manage employee access/accounts in one place

2 points by proszkinasenne2 7 years ago | 7 comments

Hi everyone. Do you know a reputable & reliable service or tool to manage employee accounts at Github/Slack etc?

People join my company: I add their Github handles to a group at Github, Slack and a few more including iOS Dev team.

I am looking for a tool that would give me an overview on all these accounts, showing who has access where with what account, so that whenever someone joins or leaves the company I can manage them easily and never forget about any of them.

I know SSO would partially solve the problem, but I am hoping there is a solution that doesn't require it.

Seems like an actual use case for a spreadsheet. Is there anything you need from this tool that a trivial spreadsheet won’t support?

Comprehensive and up to date overview on the access information.

Github is in charge of a tech team lead, Slack is someone else. Once an employee leaves, I want to make sure access is limited accordingly. Sending a bunch of emails and coordinating, then double-checking is the worst nightmare. If the # of services you use is 5 it's all good. If you use >5 you have to check each individually every employee sign-off.

We once had an ex-employee receiving Github updates two years after he left us.

What is it that you’re looking for your tool to do about this?

Rippling handles that: you can onboard / off-board employees in one click

Any ideas how much is Rippling for something around 30 PCs? Only the provisioning/de-provisioning. They sell payroll + Core HR within a package with the provis./de-provis., but we are outside US plus already have an HR tool.
