Provisioneringshantering, or provisioning management, refers to the process of making resources available for use. This encompasses a wide range of IT elements, from physical hardware and software licenses to cloud services and user accounts. The core objective is to ensure that the right resources are available to the right users or systems at the right time, efficiently and securely.

The lifecycle of provisioning management typically involves request, approval, deployment, and de-provisioning. When a new user joins an organization, for instance, their account needs to be created, permissions assigned, and necessary software installed. This is provisioning. Conversely, when an employee leaves, their access must be revoked and their resources reallocated or retired, which is de-provisioning.

Effective provisioneringshantering is crucial for operational efficiency, cost control, and security. Automating these processes can significantly reduce manual effort, minimize errors, and speed up service delivery. It also plays a vital role in compliance, ensuring that access controls are properly managed and that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive data and systems. In cloud environments, this management is particularly dynamic, dealing with scalable and on-demand resources.
