Where are transparently managed users provisioned from?

Transparently managed users in CyberArk are provisioned from external directories, such as Active Directory or LDAP. This integration allows CyberArk to synchronize user information and access credentials seamlessly. By leveraging external directory services, organizations can maintain a centralized user management system, ensuring that users’ credentials and permissions are always up-to-date and aligned with existing security policies.

Utilizing external directories helps streamline access management and significantly enhances security posture by ensuring that only authorized users have privileged access. This method also facilitates compliance with organizational policies and regulatory requirements regarding identity and access management.

Provisioning users from internal databases, local machines, or CyberArk's internal authentication would limit the scalability and manageability of user accounts, contradicting the intention of implementing a robust privileged access security framework.
