Automating Identity Security

See how ConductorOne’s hierarchical policies bring automation, flexibility, and intelligence to access reviews and approvals.
Main Takeaways
- ✅
Policies in ConductorOne define who should review or approve a task and what actions should follow.
- ✅
They can evaluate real-time attributes like whether someone is on call, part of a specific team, or a senior engineer.
- ✅
Policies are hierarchical and can be applied at multiple layers (like app, entitlement, or review) depending on context.
- ✅
This layered design allows cascading rules, meaning a single policy can adapt dynamically based on conditions such as department or role.
- ✅
The result: fewer one-off policies, less manual work, and faster, smarter decision-making in identity governance.
