WHAT IS SAP IAG?
SAP Identity Access Governance (IAG) is a cloud‑based solution designed to help organizations manage user access, roles, and compliance across complex SAP environments. It centralizes governance for cloud, on‑premise, and hybrid systems — giving companies a unified way to control identities and permissions.
WHY SAP IAG?
SAP landscapes are becoming increasingly diverse - spanning S/4HANA, ECC, SuccessFactors, cloud apps, and third‑party systems. With that comes complexity, fragmented access models, and higher compliance pressure.

Consistent role management

Automated risk analysis

Strong support for compliance and audits
Key Capabilities
SAP IAG delivers four core capabilities that form the foundation of modern access governance:
