Cakewalk for Admins

Why Use Cakewalk?

Admins use Cakewalk to orchestrate governance at scale. It gives you:

  • A single source of truth for users, apps and access.

  • Fully automated lifecycle for joiners, movers and leavers.

  • Unlimited customization with Policy Builder & Custom Layouts.

  • End-to-end automated access management across your app stack.

  • Delegate access approvals to reduce admin overhead.


🧑‍💻Everyday Workflows

User Directory

  • View all users and their access levels in “User Overview”.

  • Manage onboardings and offboardings.

  • Sync and govern groups from your HRIS or IdP.

💡 Why this matters: Consolidated identity data reduces manual tracking.


App Governance

  • Manage your company's entire app inventory.

  • Triage newly discovered apps via browser extension and SSO.

  • Govern non-SSO as well as custom apps.

  • Monitor all user requests.

💡 Why this matters: Keeps the app catalog complete, compliant and up-to-date.


Task Management

  • Oversee and escalate tasks (joiners/leavers, access requests).

💡 Why this matters: Ensures no joiner or leaver slips through the cracks.


Policy Builder

Open API

  • Read/write Cakewalk data to sync users, apps and accesses.
