Definition

Process of collecting account and entitlement data from target systems into the IGA platform. Foundation for reconciliation, correlation, certification, and compliance reporting. Frequency: typically nightly batch; modern deployments increasingly event-driven (real-time webhook).

Application
Performance-critical for large estates — IGA platforms tune aggregation schedules per system based on change rate. Failed aggregation = IGA platform view diverges from reality (security/compliance risk).
