Short answer

How can I audit user and group access with my AI?

Your agent pulls user lists and group memberships directly from CyberArk Privilege Cloud. It then compares this data against your RBAC policies to find discrepancies. You get a clear view of your permission landscape.

Audit outcomes

Where your findings land.

The AI processes the raw data into these specific results.

COMPLIANCE

RBAC verification

The AI checks if user permissions match your roles. You get a list of any mismatches found in the group structures.

SECURITY

Identify access drift

Your agent spots users who have gained permissions they shouldn't have. It flags these discrepancies for your review.

CLEANUP

Find orphaned accounts

The AI identifies users who are in groups but no longer belong in the system. This helps you prune stale access.

HUMAN

Manual remediation

The AI identifies the issues, but you must log in to CyberArk to actually change permissions or remove users.
