An application programming interface (API) hub architecture establishes relationships among the provisioning systems, the IAM target systems, and an intermediate API hub system. A provisioning system can send the API hub system a message in a format associated with the IAM system. The API hub determines and identifies which of one or more available IAM systems should receive the message. The API hub system translates the message into a correct format for each of the determined target IAM systems and sends the translated messages to the appropriate target systems. Similarly, the API hub system can receive a message from an IAM system, identify, based on the message, which of one or more provisioning systems should receive the message, translate the message into an appropriate format for each of the determined one or more provisioning systems, and send the formatted message to the determined provisioning systems.

Embodiments for managing for managing access to computing system resources are described. A list of privileged users having access to a computing system privilege is received. The computing system privilege is associated with a set of privilege credentials. The receiving of a first set of credentials and a second set of credentials from a user attempting to access the computing system privilege is detected. The user is caused to be granted access to the computing system privilege only if the first set of credentials matches the set of privilege credentials and the second set of credentials is associated with one of the privileged users.
