# Identity Access Management

## Identity Access Management (IAM)

Krutrim Cloud Identity Access Management (IAM) controls **who can access what** within an organization using a **Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)** model.

IAM is designed to be **secure by default**, **deterministic**, and **extensible**.

***

### How IAM Works

IAM permissions flow through four entities:

* **Users** → human identities
* **Policies** → permission rules
* **Roles** → collections of policies
* **Groups** → collections of roles

```
Policy → Role → (User | Group) → User
```
