# Identity Lifecycle Management (IdLCM)

Understand how Cerby automates identity provisioning and deprovisioning through IdLCM integrations and business hubs.

Managing who has access to what, across dozens of apps, is one of the most time-consuming and error-prone tasks in IT. Cerby's Identity Lifecycle Management (IdLCM) solution eliminates that burden by connecting your disconnected apps to your identity platform, so the same automated workflows that govern your core systems can now govern every app in your portfolio.

Together, business hubs and IdLCM integrations give you complete lifecycle coverage: from the apps your marketing team uses every day to the enterprise tools your engineering and operations teams depend on.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.cerby.com/getting-started/concepts/identity-lifecycle-management-idlcm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
