Ask HN: A tool/SaaS to manage employee access/accounts in one place

Hi everyone. Do you know a reputable & reliable service or tool to manage employee accounts at Github/Slack etc? People join my company: I add their Github handles to a group at Github, Slack and a few more including iOS Dev team. I am looking for a tool that would give me an overview on all these accounts, showing who has access where with what account, so that whenever someone joins or leaves the company I can manage them easily and never forget about any of them. I know SSO would partially solve the problem, but I am hoping there is a solution that doesn't require it.

Seems like an actual use case for a spreadsheet. Is there anything you need from this tool that a trivial spreadsheet won’t support?

  Comprehensive and up to date overview on the access information. Github is in charge of a tech team lead, Slack is someone else. Once an employee leaves, I want to make sure access is limited accordingly. Sending a bunch of emails and coordinating, then double-checking is the worst nightmare. If the # of services you use is 5 it's all good. If you use >5 you have to check each individually every employee sign-off. We once had an ex-employee receiving Github updates two years after he left us.

    What is it that you’re looking for your tool to do about this?

      "Comprehensive and up to date overview on the access information" by pulling data from the services I use and (optionally) managing the permissions for me. Rippling [1] calls it "provisioning/de-provisioning" and that's exactly what I am looking for (maybe with periodical checks to make sure we remove contractors permissions once their job is done) with the exception that I don't want to set up a new HR system just to get this feature.

Rippling handles that: you can onboard / off-board employees in one click

  Any ideas how much is Rippling for something around 30 PCs? Only the provisioning/de-provisioning. They sell payroll + Core HR within a package with the provis./de-provis., but we are outside US plus already have an HR tool.
