The lifecycle of a user in a company represents the different stages and transitions that an employee goes through throughout their career within the organization.
From an HR perspective, we find these different stages: recruitment, onboarding, development and training, performance and evaluation, career development, engagement and retention, departure or retirement.
From an IT perspective, this involves creating accounts upon arrival, modifying rights and access during internal mobility, suspending accounts during long absences, and deleting accounts upon the user's departure.
It is a continuous process that involves the registration, authentication, authorization, use, review, and updating of access rights, as well as the deactivation of user accounts.
It must be managed effectively to ensure the security of the information system.
