ITIL Access Management Objective\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n
The main objective of ITIL access management is to safeguard the data from being accessed by unauthorized users. This is extremely vital for an organization as critical data falling into the wrong hands could cause irreversible damage to the company.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/b>The first step is to request access to a particular IT service by sending one of the following types of requests.<\/span><\/p>\n It is the duty of access management to verify the identity of the user making the request and the legitimacy of the request being made.<\/span><\/p>\n After the identity of the user has been verified, the access management grants him the right to access a particular IT service as per the regulations defined during the <\/span>ITIL Service Strategy<\/span><\/a>. If undefined, the access management grants the user, rights to access the service after sending requests to the respective departments in question and receiving approval.<\/span><\/p>\n In a large organization, there is a constant change of employees in a particular position or requesting IT service access. It is the duty of the access management to keep track of all the access rights granted to the various employees and update them once the relevant employees are no longer in that position.<\/span><\/p>\n Access management also has to keep constant tabs on the IT service users who have been granted access. All the activities of service operation processes should be monitored to ensure that only the users with the relevant clearance and authorization are accessing a particular IT service. They should also define parameters that make it easy to detect intrusions into the system by unauthorized users, excess incorrect login attempts, and unusual activities.<\/span><\/p>\n The access rights of a user have to be monitored so that when the role of the user changes over a period of time and he no longer needs access to a previously needed IT service, the authorization for access should be revoked. Depending on the present status of the user, their access needs to be restricted or terminated accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"ITIL](\"https:\/\/www.invensislearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ITIL-4-Foundation-864x90-2.jpg\")
