These use cases show how security teams use Access Graph to detect over-privileged accounts, respond to suspicious activity, and enforce least-privilege access across IAM and SaaS applications.
Persona: Security engineer
Managing permissions across multiple IAM and SaaS applications makes it difficult to know who has access to what, how they got it, and whether it is still appropriate. Excessive or inappropriate permissions create direct paths to security breaches, data leaks, and compliance violations. Oleria’s Access Graph gives you a visual map of every account’s permissions across all connected applications, making it straightforward to spot permission risks for any identity or resource and take action before exposure occurs.
Persona: Security engineer
Permissions accumulate over time - role changes, project work, and employee transitions leave behind access that no longer matches current responsibilities. Tracking these changes across a complex IT environment is difficult to do manually. The activity overlay in Access Graph shows access frequency as edge thickness: thick lines for high use, thin lines for low use, and dotted lines for zero access. This makes over-privileged accounts immediately visible, so you can revoke unused access and reduce the attack surface from excessive privileges.
Least privilege access policy monitoring and enforcement
Persona: Security engineer
Access controls scoped to job roles work only if deviations are caught quickly. When someone retains access beyond their role, the gap between intended policy and actual state grows until it becomes a risk. Access Graph highlights accounts with unused permissions via dotted-line activity paths, letting you identify which resources users are not accessing and remove that access to maintain least-privilege controls consistently.
Permissions change detection and rapid response
Persona: Security engineer
Attackers target privileged accounts, and abrupt changes to account permissions - especially grants to high-risk users - can escalate exposure significantly. These changes are hard to detect until a breach occurs. Access Graph lets you quickly locate any account or resource instance and see what permissions it holds, so you can identify and respond to unexpected privilege changes before they become incidents.
Suspicious activity and access attempt detection
Persona: Cybersecurity analyst
Detecting abnormal behaviors - whether from human users or automated systems - is essential to a solid security posture, but the volume and complexity of access data makes continuous monitoring challenging. Oleria monitors account activity and access patterns continuously, flagging deviations as suspicious activity. Access Graph then lets you trace exactly what permissions the flagged account holds and how it acquired them, so you can respond quickly with targeted actions such as enforcing an MFA challenge, resetting credentials, or blocking further access.
Continuous logs and events monitoring for incident detection
Persona: Security engineer
Proactive incident detection depends on real-time analysis of logs and events across identity providers, HR systems, and SaaS applications. Even when suspicious activity is detected, determining how an account obtained access to a specific resource has historically been time-consuming. Oleria continuously ingests and correlates logs and events from IAM, HR, and SaaS systems. Any change to an account’s access pattern or unauthorized access attempt surfaces as an alert. Access Graph then makes the path from identity to resource instance visible in a single graph, drastically reducing investigation time.
Reducing security breaches
Persona: Security engineer
Without centralized visibility into identities and resource instances across IAM, HR, and SaaS applications, organizations cannot reliably maintain a secure and compliant environment. Access Graph provides a single place to get insights across all connected applications without requiring access to each application individually. It lets you enforce strict access policies - granting permissions only as needed for each job function - and apply the need-to-know principle at scale to reduce the likelihood of security breaches.
