AI Questionnaire Design

Create tailored IAM, IGA, and PAM discovery questionnaires with AI-generated questions, branching logic, visual editing, and reusable practitioner-written content.

Stakeholder Conversations

Guide business and technical stakeholders through adaptive, plain-language conversations that clarify terminology, prune irrelevant questions, and capture complete answers asynchronously.

Requirements Documentation

Build requirements templates before discovery and automatically populate polished, version-controlled Word or PDF documentation from validated stakeholder responses.

Cross-Stakeholder Analytics

Detect conflicting responses, measure consensus, identify completion gaps, and surface anomalies early so teams resolve access-policy uncertainty before implementation.

API And ServiceNow

Connect questionnaire data and generated requirements to delivery workflows through REST API access, bulk exports, and a first-party ServiceNow integration.

Private Label Deployment

Deliver Identity CoAnalyst under your firm's brand while maintaining isolated client tenants, confidential data boundaries, and a consistent discovery methodology.

Smarter Identity Discovery

Make Access Requirements Clear And Actionable

Effective permission management begins before roles, workflows, or integrations are configured. Identity CoAnalyst helps consulting teams replace lengthy workshops and spreadsheet chasing with AI-guided stakeholder discovery. Its vendor-agnostic platform captures who needs access, what they need, why it is needed, who approves it, and how it is reviewed or removed. The result is a clearer, testable baseline that supports confident IAM, IGA, and PAM decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is permission management software?

Permission management software helps organizations control who can access applications, systems, data, and privileged resources. It supports activities such as defining access rules, assigning roles or entitlements, routing approvals, tracking changes, conducting access reviews, and removing access when it is no longer appropriate. Strong platforms also create evidence that decisions and controls were applied consistently.
