Identity Template: configurable per customer

Service Account Credential Rotation

Rotate a service-account secret or app client credential with approval and a clean audit record, on a schedule or on demand.

Entra IDOkta

The problem

Service-account secrets tend to live far longer than they should. Rotation is fiddly and risky to do by hand, so it gets deferred, and long-lived credentials become a finding in the next audit.

What AscendCore does

On a schedule or on demand, AscendCore generates a new secret for the target service principal, proposes the rotation to an approver, activates the new secret, and retires the old one. The rotation is recorded in the tamper-evident audit chain.

Status

Template. Target service accounts and rotation cadence are configurable per customer. Connect it to your Entra ID or Okta tenant to enable.

Multi-system orchestrated role transitions for promotions, transfers, and contractor-to-FTE conversions. Five seed roles ship out of the box (support tiers, sales SDR/AE, engineering contractor/FTE/intern, HR generalist/manager); each transition produces a single approval card showing the full access diff and executes sequentially across Okta + Entra + Jira + M365 with per-step audit outcomes.
