Hey Hunters! Thanks to @kevin for hunting us. We’re very excited to be launching on Product Hunt today! Startup CTOs and Sysadmins - this is for you! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts and feedback on it! <3 🤯 tl;dr Core Problem Do you know that? A new hire joins soon and you need to figure out which tools and accesses she need. Or your admin gets messages from random people asking for accesses where he needs to get approvals from their managers first. And I am sure you have a sophisticated Excel sheet with all your team members and tools to see who has access to what - it’s hopefully up to date. 🧐 Problem in detail 👉 Outdated access overview: Application access of employees needs to be documented, so that you do not forget to remove the accesses when a employee leaves 👉 Security risks : Employees should only have access to tools and features they really need (least access principle) 👉 Poor onboarding experience: New joiners need the right set of applications the moment they start 👉 Missing approvals: New access usually needs to be approved by a manager 👉 Request overload: Access requests via plain text are unstructured and hard to follow up on 👉 Manual labor: Access needs to be granted/revoked manually because small and mid-sized companies often cannot afford the most expensive plans of their SaaS tools that enables automatic user provisioning 🦉 AccessOwl to the rescue There is a better way to handle that and it’s as easy as installing an app into your Slack workspace. AccessOwl simplifies access approval processes using Slack while documenting who has access to what application automatically - this way you and your team save time. Our goal is to be the simplest solution in that regard for small and mid-sized digital companies that aren’t ready for enterprise solutions like Okta. 🔦 Value Proposition & Key Features ⚡️ Automate employee access on- and offboarding ✅ Approve or deny - Approval workflows for access requests 💬 Users can request access on-demand - right out of Slack, no login required! 🦸 Use Access Templates to onboard pre-defined roles (like Marketing Managers or Software Engineers) 🔎 Get an Access Report who has been given access to which resource, when and why 🧠 Have a single source of truth for all your applications 🧩 Integrate with issue management systems like Gitlab 🎯 Our Vision We enable small and mid-sized companies to focus on their core business instead of tedious tasks by providing a simple & affordable solution for approval and access management. 💡 Have any feedback or ideas on how we can improve AccessOwl? We wanna hear from you in the comments! ~Mathias 🎁 PS: As special gift to all of you, we offer 2 month for free for the Pro plan.
