What is Identity Governance and Administration and how does it work with VMware Cloud Services

Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) is a service that allows your enterprise to obtain data for audit trail and certification, and helps Organization Owner users to manage self-service access requests, approvals, violations, and API tokens in real time.

The IGA service comes with two sets of features: basic and advanced. It is only available to Organizations with federated domains.

• To start using the basic IGA features, an Organization Owner must activate the IGA service by clicking the Get Started link on the Identity & Access Management > Governance page.
• To start using the advanced IGA features, see How do I activate advanced Identity Governance and Administration in my Organization.
