Sure, you can get access to the company Slack or Jira. But can you get in that private channel or project you know you need? AccessOwl is here to make permission control easier for SaaS products. Let’s jump in.
⚾ The Elevator Pitch
It’s incredible how much time we still waste trying to get access to that one Jira project, GDrive folder, or AWS resource. Currently, security teams are desperate to maintain “least privilege” — every employee should have exactly how much access they need, no more. As a result, access within applications gets out of control. You’ll have view access to one file in a folder, edit access to another, and ultimately get frustrated that you can never get what you need.
Managing application access becomes frictionless with AccessOwl. Employees can request the exact “entitlement” they need within an application. Approvals are instantly taken care of since they are done in chat (where most companies collaborate today). When an employee leaves the company, revoking their access is as simple as the click of a button.

🔍 Why we like it
👋 Building habits from day 1
Chatbot adoption is incredibly difficult to get right. AccessOwl inserts itself at the beginning of the employee lifecycle by letting them know on Day 1 that they’ll be able to help with any access needs. This also helps new hires feel like their company cares about their onboarding and they have everything they need to be productive on day 1.
🔐 Designed to be security-first
AccessOwl knows their customers care deeply about compliance and audit. Auditors periodically review access to ensure companies are compliant with various standards (GDPR, SOC2, ISO27001).
🔗 Integrations! Integrations! Integrations!
The winner of the identity governance administration (IGA) “arms race” is going to be the one with the lowest total cost of ownership. Most of the time, IGA tools force their owners to link every shared network drive, entitlement, or other “role” to an Active Directory or Okta group, putting a huge burden on IT & security teams. AccessOwl takes all that pain away and they’ve moved fast to support 300+ integrations.
