AI agent for hr information system (hris) specialists
HRIS Access and Role Review Agent
HRIS access matched to real need, with over-broad roles corrected
What it does
The HRIS holds pay and personal data, so access must be tight, yet roles pile up as people move. Each quarter this agent pulls HRIS users, roles and permissions and matches them to each person's current job and the access policy. It flags users with more access than their role allows, access to data outside their area and accounts of people who left HR or the company. It also checks role definitions for over-broad permissions, such as a role that can see every salary. Temporary access is checked against its end date. For each flag it asks the manager to confirm need. Before proposing a reduction, it checks the access is not needed for a current task. You approve every change. Edge case: expired temporary project access is flagged even if the manager forgot it existed.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
