Glossary

The progression of roles in identity and access management, from analyst or administrator through IAM engineer to architect and program leadership, with specializations like cloud IAM, IGA, or privileged access.

The IAM career path traces how a practitioner advances in the identity field: starting in administration or analysis, growing into IAM engineering (designing and building identity systems), and on to architecture and program leadership, with branches into specialties like identity governance, privileged access, or cloud IAM. Understanding it helps someone plan the skills, certifications, and experience needed to move from operating identity systems toward designing and leading them.
