IGA (Identify Governance and Administration) is a central component of Identity and Access Management (IAM) designed to “manage digital identity and access rights across multiple systems and applications.”  Identity Governance and Administration solutions achieve this by aggregating and correlating identity and permissions data found throughout an enterprise’s digital ecosystem, and then utilizing that data to perform its core functions.

Gartner considers IGA’s core functions to include access requests, access certification, auditing, reporting and analytics, workflow management, entitlement management, and identity life cycle management.  Gartner evaluates IGA (Identity Governance and Administration) vendors based on the completeness of their vision and their ability to execute on their vision and roadmap.
