IAM Analyst Case Studies

About this video

This SkillsBuild video course sets out realistic IAM scenarios and asks you to solve them before you see the walkthrough. It builds the troubleshooting thinking the roadmap stresses at the analyst stage, from joiner-mover-leaver mistakes to access reviews that fail an audit.

What you'll learn

• A leaver whose accounts stayed active in some applications
• A mover who kept old access after changing department
• A user blocked by MFA or a Conditional Access policy
• An SSO sign-in that fails for one group but works for others
• An access review with rubber-stamped approvals and missing evidence
• An orphaned or shared account that nobody claims to own
• Finding the root cause and stopping the same issue coming back

What's included

• Scenario briefs you pause and work through on your own
• Walkthroughs of how an experienced analyst would investigate
• Discussion of the fix, how to verify it and the follow-up
• Ideas for recreating each scenario in your own lab

Who it's for

• Learners who know the basics and want practice thinking through problems
• Junior IAM Analysts building troubleshooting confidence
• Interview candidates who need scenario-based examples to talk about

By the end, you'll have a repeatable way to investigate IAM problems and explain your reasoning.
