Ask HN: How many/which app accounts do you need to create for a new team member?

Posted by mcavaliere on Monday November 11, 2019 @01:13PM
from the ask-hn dept.

For us it's about 10 apps we have to add a new dev to (GitHub, Harvest, GSuite, Gusto, Slack, Clubhouse, Notion and a few others I'm forgetting).

I'm curious what the list looks like for everyone else.

We manage this through a service, so it's not something we need to do manually for every new employee. New folks get added to one or more groups and use SSO to get access. It also varies by team, but for an engineer on my team it's something like 15-20. At my previous company it was done by hand, and was slack, aws, github, email, pagerduty. The list grew as the company grew.

That’s awesome. What service do you use?

Or do you mean a custom webservice your company built?

Okta; it's an external service.
