What AccessOwl is
AccessOwl is web-based access governance software for managing SaaS access through employee onboarding, role changes and departures. HR system events can trigger onboarding and offboarding workflows, with templates for tool lists and permissions. It can provision and remove access across 400+ apps, including those without SCIM or SAML support. Employees can request access through Slack or a web dashboard, and requests can be routed to managers, tool owners or IT admins. Access reviews sync user lists and permissions, invite reviewers, send Slack reminders, process changes and provide audit evidence for SOC 2 or ISO 27001. Shadow IT discovery scans Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 SSO logs and work inbox invitation emails for apps outside the IdP. Spend management tracks costs by app, team or employee, identifies unused licenses and provides renewal reminders. AccessOwl lists more than 400 integrations. Its Basic plan is $4.50 a month per user with a $250 minimum; Growth is $6 a month per user with a $250 minimum. A 7-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
