Käyttäjähallintapalvelut, or User Management Services, refers to the systems and processes responsible for managing user identities and access privileges within an organization's IT environment. These services are crucial for ensuring that only authorized individuals can access specific resources, applications, and data. The core functions of user management services typically include user creation, modification, and deletion. When a new employee joins, a user account is created, granting them the necessary access. When an employee's role changes, their permissions are updated accordingly. Upon departure, user accounts are deactivated or removed to prevent unauthorized access.

Beyond basic account management, user management services often encompass authentication and authorization. Authentication verifies a user's identity, commonly through passwords, multi-factor authentication, or biometrics. Authorization, on the other hand, determines what actions an authenticated user is permitted to perform. This is often managed through roles and permissions, where specific sets of privileges are assigned to different user groups. Effective user management is fundamental for maintaining security, complying with regulations, and improving operational efficiency by streamlining access control. Centralized user management services can simplify administration and reduce the risk of security breaches.
