 2.2. Automated detection of changes in employment status, role, or clearance in HRMS or directory.
 2.3. Custom trigger: access requests, suspicious activity, or flagged anomalies automate ad-hoc review.
 2.4. Automated feed of regulatory, organizational, or clearance updates requiring immediate user review.
 2.5. Onboarding/offboarding events from Identity Provider (IdP) automate the access level adjustment flow.
