Make tool requests easier for you and your team while keeping track of all your tools & accesses. Save time and stay safe — AccessOwl makes all processes around access management a breeze.
Hosted in Germany
Ready in minutes
AccessOwl simplifies access approval processes using Slack while documenting who has access to what application automatically. Get access reports in minutes using a central web application.
Small and medium-sized companies often cannot afford the most expensive plans of their SaaS tools that would enable automatic user provisioning. Yet new employees need a set of tools. AccessOwl helps your HR and admin team and saves them valuable time.
Your team can easily request new accesses on-demand via self-service — without leaving Slack. New team members automatically get access to all the tools they need. Control access requests in compliance with internal or external policies (like GDPR).
Get a crystal clear audit trail of who has been given access to which resource, when and why — available at the push of a button. Ensure that everyone has only the most necessary permissions ("Least privilege" principle).

The general concept of AccessOwl in three simple steps.
AccessOwl provides an easy-to-use interface for HR managers, Admins and regular users — right in Slack. Access modifications like new grants or revocations are collected in a structured but simple way.
If the flow requires it we request the approvals for you automatically, e.g. by sending a Slack message to the manager. Approve or deny — available at the push of a button.
Don't waste time with sending manual approval requests or questions about the access back and forth. Admins receive a clear todo list of what to grant or revoke - via simple email or via your favourite issue management system. It's that simple.
| AccessOwl | Spreadsheet | Enterprise Software (e.g. Sailpoint) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Target Group | Small and Medium Business | Small and Medium Business | Large Enterprises |
| Integration Time (depends on number of applications) | Minutes - Hours | - | Weeks - Months |
| Simplicity for Users | High | Medium | Low |
| Access Fulfilment | Automated mail or issue creation (like Jira or Gitlab) | Non existent | Automatic if all used SaaS apps have highest plan |
| Data Sources | Slack or Teams | Manual data input | Connection with HR software, Identity providers and custom applications |
| Access Reviews | Reapprove expiring accesses over time directly from Slack | Manual review based on paper, spreadsheets or emails | Periodically triggered reviews of all users and applications via complex interface to support many use cases |
| Compliance Audit Reports | Audit-ready compliance reports | Non existent | Audit-ready compliance reports |
| Employee Lifecycle Triggers | on-boarding, role switch and off-boarding | Non existent | on-boarding, role switch and off-boarding |
| Access Request via self-service | Yes, directly from Slack | Non existent | Yes, from a separate Web Application |
Whenever I onboard a new member on my team I need to document which accesses were granted across all of the tools we use. I want that to happen automatically, so that I do not have to worry about staying compliant for an audit.
Senior Director Software Engineering
The best Administrators I encountered had the talent and experience to create their own well-oiled but often custom system to track and organize access rights. Lean organizations of the SaaS-age should have access to user-friendly administration-software for all skill levels to help their diverse use-cases out of the box and bring order into chaos.
CTO
Every growing company in serious business needs a proper access management. Most of them use a home grown process from paper-based to issue tracking solutions. In every new company I have to build the same thing over and over again. It's time to make that easier!
