An Employee Changes Roles. Did Their Access Change Too?

Offboarding usually gets attention. Internal role changes can quietly leave employees with access they no longer need. A former finance team member may still see payment files months after moving elsewhere.
Build access review into every transfer and promotion. Confirm the new responsibilities, remove obsolete permissions, and check shared groups as well as individual accounts. Managers should approve the business need while IT applies and records the change. Review privileged access separately because its consequences can be broader.
A reliable joiner, mover, and leaver process keeps permissions connected to current work. It also makes future reviews easier because someone has documented why the access exists.
