Corma connects to ClayHR Corma to enable HR practices around Access Reviews and Automated User Provisoioning and Identity Access Management (IAM) as a service
The more complex your organization, the more access management has to get right — and the more damage it does when it gets it wrong. In businesses with multiple departments, layered approval structures, and dozens of business-critical applications, a single missed offboarding or an unchecked permission creep incident can have consequences that ripple across security, compliance, and operational continuity simultaneously.
Corma ClayHR Integration was built for exactly this level of organizational complexity. By establishing ClayHR as the definitive, real-time source of truth for all access decisions, Corma ensures that your application permissions always mirror the precise state of your workforce — down to the department, the role, and the individual — automatically, accurately, and without placing additional burden on already-stretched IT and HR teams.
Access management through ClayHR integration means putting the rich, structured employee data that ClayHR holds — org hierarchies, role definitions, team memberships, contract types, approval structures, and employment lifecycle events — directly in control of who gets into what across your entire application landscape.
When ClayHR is connected to your business tools through Corma, access becomes a natural and automatic extension of your HR processes. A new senior analyst is onboarded in ClayHR with a defined role, department, and reporting line — and within minutes, every application their position requires is provisioned and ready. When a reorganization moves them into a different business unit, their permissions update to reflect the new context. When their employment concludes and ClayHR records the departure, every account they held is deactivated simultaneously — across every platform, without a single manual step.
The depth of data that ClayHR holds about your workforce is a significant asset. Corma turns that asset into a live, continuously enforced access control policy — one that reflects the real complexity of your organization rather than a simplified approximation of it.
The larger and more complex an organization becomes, the more damaging the consequences of disconnected access management — and the harder the problem becomes to solve manually:
Provisioning bottlenecks that slow onboarding at scale — When ClayHR processes a new hire but IT has to manually translate that information into account creation across every business application, the process becomes a bottleneck that slows productivity, introduces inconsistencies, and creates security gaps from the very first day of employment.
Permission sprawl across a complex role landscape — In organizations with layered hierarchies, frequent internal mobility, and project-based team structures, access rights accumulate across roles, assignments, and temporary responsibilities without any mechanism to clean them up. The result is a permission landscape that nobody fully understands and that presents a significantly expanded attack surface.
Terminated employee accounts that stay active across multiple systems — In complex organizations with large application portfolios, offboarding is rarely a clean, simultaneous event across all platforms. Without ClayHR driving automatic, synchronized deactivation, former employees retain active accounts in systems that nobody thought to check — often for far longer than anyone realizes.
Visibility gaps that make governance impossible — Across dozens of business applications, multiple identity providers, and the shadow IT tools that inevitably proliferate in larger organizations, maintaining a current and accurate access map without a connected HR system at the center is not just difficult — it is practically impossible at any meaningful scale.
Compliance exposure in every direction — GDPR, SOC2, ISO 27001, and industry-specific regulatory frameworks all require demonstrable evidence that access is governed in line with the principle of least privilege, that offboarding removes access completely, and that regular access reviews are conducted and documented. In complex organizations without automated tracking, satisfying these requirements consistently is an enormous and ongoing manual effort.
Corma takes the structured, granular workforce data that ClayHR holds and converts it into precise, automated access decisions that reflect the real complexity of your organization — across every application, every role, and every stage of the employee lifecycle.
Role-precise access provisioned the moment a hire is confirmed — As soon as a new employee record is created and configured in ClayHR, Corma reads their role definition, department assignment, reporting structure, and team membership to provision exactly the right application access automatically. New starters arrive to a complete, role-appropriate digital environment — ready to contribute from their very first hour.
Departure-triggered deactivation with no manual dependency — Corma monitors ClayHR for termination dates and leaver records, triggering immediate, cross-platform account deactivation the moment employment ends. Applications with SCIM or API support are handled fully automatically; for the remainder, targeted alerts ensure that every account is addressed without relying on anyone to remember to check.
Access that evolves precisely as roles and structures change — When ClayHR records a promotion, an internal transfer, a team restructure, or any other employment change, Corma updates application permissions to match the new context immediately. Old permissions retire when they should; new ones activate when they need to — keeping the principle of least privilege intact across every organizational change.
An audit record that grows automatically with every access event — Every provisioning action, permission modification, and account deactivation is captured in Corma's audit trail as it occurs. There is no separate compliance preparation process — the evidence builds itself continuously, accurately, and completely in the background.
Organization-wide access visibility in a single dashboard — Corma maps every employee's ClayHR profile against their identity provider status, active application access, license allocation, and recent activity — giving security and compliance teams a unified, real-time view of the entire access landscape. Anomalies, mismatches, dormant accounts, and privilege outliers are surfaced proactively before they escalate.
Leverage the depth of ClayHR's role and hierarchy definitions to build access templates that reflect the true complexity of your organization. When ClayHR assigns a role — whether a standard position or a highly customized function within a specific business unit — Corma applies the corresponding permission set across all connected applications immediately and without exception.
Corma integrates natively with ClayHR and operates alongside platforms including BambooHR, Charlie, Breathe, Alexis, Altera Payroll, Access People HR, Personio, and Deel. The full richness of ClayHR's employee data — org hierarchies, team structures, custom role attributes, and reporting relationships — is used to drive complete, accurate provisioning at every point in the employee lifecycle.
Every employment status change, role update, or organizational restructure recorded in ClayHR flows immediately through Corma to identity providers like Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra, propagating from there to all connected downstream applications in real time. No batch processing windows, no overnight sync delays, no manual triggers — permissions reflect your current workforce at every moment of every day.
Access events are logged permanently and automatically as they occur, creating a growing, organized record of governance activity that requires no manual maintenance. Generate detailed compliance reports on demand, schedule regular access reviews tied to ClayHR data, and approach any regulatory audit with complete confidence that your documentation is accurate, comprehensive, and already prepared.
When ClayHR registers a termination, Corma responds without delay — triggering account deactivation across every integrated application at the same moment. No orphaned accounts, no credentials left active in overlooked systems, no exposure window created by the gap between HR processing a departure and IT getting around to the downstream applications.
Most access management tools simplify organizational structures to make automation feasible. Corma works with the full depth of ClayHR's data — custom roles, layered hierarchies, complex team structures — to deliver automation that reflects how your organization actually operates rather than a flattened version of it.
Enterprise identity governance platforms typically demand months of configuration before delivering meaningful value. Corma is different — connecting ClayHR, your SSO, and your identity provider takes around ten minutes, and automation begins working immediately from that point. The sophistication is in the platform, not the setup.
Complex organizations don't always have specialist identity engineers on staff. Corma's prebuilt connectors and intuitive interface mean the IT team you already have can implement, manage, and iterate on the full integration without outside consultants, specialist training, or dedicated implementation projects.
Corma unifies identity governance and SaaS management in one platform — giving security, IT, and compliance teams a shared view of the entire access landscape. One dashboard to manage permissions, review access, track license utilization, and demonstrate governance to auditors — without jumping between disconnected tools to piece the picture together.
More than 100 organizations — including Brevo and Skello — have established Corma as the backbone of their IT, HR, and Finance automation, achieving substantial reductions in the manual effort associated with access provisioning and deactivation while maintaining accurate, fully auditable permissions across their entire application portfolio.
Organizations using Corma consistently report near-complete elimination of orphaned accounts following employee departures, dramatically fewer permission discrepancies after internal role changes and organizational restructures recorded in ClayHR, and compliance audit preparation that has been reduced from a multi-day, resource-intensive exercise to a process that takes minutes. Whether every application in the portfolio supports full API-driven automation or some require manual notification workflows to close the loop, Corma delivers comprehensive, reliable coverage without leaving anything to chance.
Initial setup takes approximately ten minutes. Once ClayHR and your identity provider are connected, Corma begins surfacing and acting on access data immediately. Most organizations have comprehensive automation running across their full application stack within a few days of completing the initial connection.
Yes — this is one of the areas where Corma genuinely stands out. Rather than flattening organizational complexity to make automation work, Corma reads and reflects the full depth of ClayHR's role definitions, departmental hierarchies, team structures, and custom attributes — delivering access automation that matches how your organization is actually structured.
No. Corma is built around prebuilt connectors and a configuration process that capable IT generalists can manage independently. No external consultants, no specialist certifications, and no extended implementation timelines are required — regardless of organizational complexity.
Corma operates with the minimum permission scopes required for each integration, encrypts all stored credentials using enterprise-grade standards, and supports complete access revocation at any time. Every data flow between ClayHR and connected applications is governed by rigorous security practices at every stage.
Corma's role-based access controls, real-time audit logging, structured access review workflows, and offboarding automation are built to support GDPR, SOC2, ISO 27001, and any regulatory or industry-specific framework that requires clear, documented, and verifiable governance of employee access rights across a complex application estate.
