Identity & Access Management for Startups

This skill covers practical, production-ready configurations for SSO, SCIM provisioning, MFA enforcement, and access governance using the three most common identity providers for startups: Google Workspace, Okta, and Azure AD (Entra ID).

Google Workspace is the most common starting IdP for startups. Combined with the GAM CLI tool, it provides powerful automation.
