Opal + GitLab

‍

GitLab + Opal Use cases

Protect against breaches with least privilege

• Grant just-in-time access to GitLab projects and groups that are auto-expiring and fully audited using Slack
• Ensure that privileged roles have the appropriate identity governance and approval configurations, such as multi-stage approvals, max duration, custom fields, and more

Accelerate employee access on paved roads

• Enable resource owners with the most context to approve access requests and provision access automatically via Slack
• Accelerate employee onboarding by enabling managers to request on behalf of their reports or enabling self-service discovery of resource bundles
• Automate on-call access by provisioning and deprovisioning access via on-call schedules

Simplify compliance without manual overhead

• Automate user access reviews so compliance teams can snapshot user listings, assign reviewers to self-service reviews, propagate access changes, and generate an auditor-friendly access report
• Review access of employees who have recently transferred roles or departments
