Bridging the Identity Gaps: Connectivity, Collaboration, and Control

Real-world IT spans multiple apps, teams, and systems - and not everything can be automated. 

This month’s Josys updates strengthen connectivity, collaboration, and control where it matters most. So you can govern identities the way work actually happens.

New Feature Releases

Faster Governance with a New Onboarding Experience

‍Getting started with identity governance shouldn’t be guesswork.

The new onboarding experience walks you through the exact steps to set up Josys and unlock its full potential to start governing immediately.  Now, you can sync identities and devices, discover shadow IT, reclaim licenses from terminated users, and launch access reviews and workflows - right from day one.

No trial and error. Just governance, from the start.

Multi-source Data Sync for a Unified Identity Profile

Employee data is often split across systems - your IdP covers all users, while HR systems hold key attributes like department or job title. 

With Multi-Source User Profile Sync, you can now enrich identities using multiple systems:

• Keep your IdP as the primary source for coverage
• Pull missing attributes like department or job title from HRMS

You’re in full control with:

• Custom column mapping across systems
• Clear visibility into data discrepancies
• Configuring workflows to manage access based on changes in identity data from secondary sources (like HRMS)

The result? A single, authoritative identity profile that preserves both coverage and context and ensures consistent and continuous governance.

Feature Enhancements

Beyond Automation: Gain Flexibility with Manual Workflow Triggers

Manual Workflow Triggers give admins immediate control when automation isn’t enough.

You can now run, re-run, or schedule onboarding and offboarding workflows for specific users, instantly. This is ideal for: 

Safely testing new workflows on a small set of users before org-wide rollout

• Re-running workflows to recover access for users affected by errors or missed automation
• Emergency offboarding when security is at risk
• Ad-hoc onboarding for contractors or interns outside HR

HTTP Requests to Automate Actions in Any External App

Need your offboarding workflow to automatically create a ticket in ServiceNow? Or your onboarding flow to ping a channel in Slack?

With our new Custom HTTP Actions, you can now make REST API calls directly from Josys workflows.

This gives you greater flexibility to trigger actions within your existing IT ticketing tools - Jira, Zendesk, Freshdesk, and more - ensuring better traceability.

Admins can fully configure the request - including Auth type, Headers, and JSON body - and test the connection instantly to ensure it works. It’s the bridge you need to automate actions across your entire tech stack.

CSV Exports for Access Reviews

Sometimes, you need more than a dashboard, maybe a spreadsheet.

With this release, you can now export access reviews directly to CSV for analysis, record-keeping, or audits. Download a complete, UI-mirrored file with user details, responses, timestamps, local language, and timezone intact.

Run your own reports, support audits, and stay compliance-ready, without extra effort.

Easily Invite App Owners to Complete Integrations

You can now invite the app owners within your organization to securely complete app integrations in Josys—without requiring admin access to all apps. This eliminates offline coordination and makes it easy to onboard department-owned tools like HR, finance, or design apps for complete visibility and governance.

Invited app owners receive an email with a secure integration link to complete setup. Once connected, the app is immediately available for monitoring and governance in Josys.
