Every IT team has faced this struggle: A simple request—"Who should have access to this app?"—turns into hours of combing through spreadsheets, cross-checking roles, and chasing down stakeholders. Access policies are outdated, app sprawl is real, and compliance audits? A nightmare.

So we built App Access Matrix—a free tool designed for IT teams to define, review, and share SaaS app access policies without the spreadsheet chaos.

Why IT Teams Struggle with SaaS Access Management

Simply put, IT teams struggle with SaaS access management because of sprawl in their SaaS apps and sprawl in their business. Due to the proliferation of both apps as well as roles and responsibilities for different people in an org, keeping track of who should have access to what becomes an exercise in spreadsheet complexity.

App Access Matrix: A Smarter Way to Track and Manage SaaS Access

With App Access Matrix, IT teams get a structured, dynamic way to define, review, and update access policies across all SaaS applications—per app and per user role, team, department or location.

How to Get Started with App Access Matrix

Unified Visibility Across Apps and Users

Gain a comprehensive view of application access across your organization. App Access Matrix allows you to centralize user permissions by role, department, and location, making it easy to understand who should have access to what at any given time.

Easy Filtering and Grouping

Instead of manually searching through spreadsheets, IT teams can quickly filter and group users by department, role, or location. This allows for efficient access management, making it easier to grant, revoke, or adjust permissions in bulk based on organizational needs.

Seamless Export and Sharing

Access policies often need to be shared with security, compliance, and management teams. With App Access Matrix, IT admins can export the access matrix as a CSV file for easy reference during audits, internal reviews, or policy updates. This ensures alignment across teams and simplifies compliance reporting.
