Managing access for a manufacturing system

A method, comprising:

• receiving access management request data at an automated provisioning system of an entity, wherein the access management request data comprises data relating to a request to manage one or more access privileges with respect to an external system of the entity;
• determining ready task data for the external system based on the received access management request data, wherein the ready task data comprises data relating to one or more provisioning tasks to be performed for the external system;
• transmitting provisioning request data to the external system based on the determined ready task data, wherein the provisioning request data comprises data relating to a request for the external system to perform the one or more provisioning tasks;
• transmitting status request data to the external system after a predetermined amount of time, wherein the status request data comprises data relating to a request for the external system to provide external status data for the one or more provisioning tasks;
• receiving the external status data from the external system, wherein the external status data comprises data relating to one or more external statuses for the one or more provisioning tasks;
• determining generic status data for the external system based on the received external status data, wherein the generic status data comprises data relating to one or more generic statuses that correspond to the one or more external statuses;
• and
• performing one or more access management operations based on the determined generic status data.

One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored thereon instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving access management request data at an automated provisioning system of an entity, wherein the access management data comprises data relating to a request to manage one or more access privileges with respect to a manufacturing system of the entity;
• determining ready task data for the manufacturing system based on the received access management request data, wherein the ready task data comprises data relating to one or more provisioning tasks to be performed for the manufacturing system;
• receiving external status data from the manufacturing system, wherein the external status data comprises data relating to one or more external statuses for the one or more provisioning tasks;
• determining generic status data for the manufacturing system based on the received external status data, wherein the generic status data comprises data relating to one or more generic statuses that correspond to the one or more external statuses;
• and
• performing one or more access management operations based on the determined generic status data, wherein the generic status data is based on the received external status data and comprises data relating to one or more generic statuses that correspond to the one or more external statuses.
