Identity Data
Full legal name, employee ID, contact details, and verifying HR documentation to link the account to a real person for audits.
A formal Employee Account Manager reduces account misconfiguration, documents approvals for audits, and creates a single authoritative record for access decisions across HR and IT systems. It also clarifies responsibilities for provisioning and deprovisioning, which lowers security and compliance risk.
The Employee Account Manager is completed collaboratively; several roles are usually involved depending on the organization’s size and structure.
Assign clear ownership for each field so approvals, provisioning, and audit records are consistent and traceable.
An HR Manager typically completes the employment and contact blocks, confirms start date and legal name details, and routes the form for technical provisioning and hiring manager approval. They ensure the personnel record aligns with account ownership for audits and I-9 retention.
An IT Administrator reviews requested roles, selects the correct provisioning workflow, documents creation steps, and records the account identifier and activation date. They are responsible for enforcement of least privilege and timely deprovisioning at termination.

| Access Role | Map to IAM group name for automated assignment |
| Provisioning Method | API provisioning or ticket-driven manual process |
| Notify On Creation | Email to employee and manager on account activation |
