Go-live checklist

You've completed initial setup and run your first investigation. Before you roll Mesh out to your whole organization, walk through this checklist to confirm the tenant is ready for everyday use. Every item links to the page that shows you how.

Data foundations​

  • Your identity provider is connected and syncing. The IdP connector shows Connected, collections complete without errors, and identities from your IdP appear in the dashboard. See Connect your identity provider.
  • At least one source connector is healthy. Beyond the IdP, at least one source system — an HR system, a cloud directory, or an ITSM tool — reports Connected and completes its collections, and its accounts are correlated to identities. See Set up your first connector and browse Connectors & Integrations for what else to connect.

Access and security​

  • Admin groups and roles are assigned. The right IdP groups grant Admin access, standard users get the User role, and you belong to an admin group yourself. See Signing in, roles, and access.
  • The sign-in identity provider is configured. Users sign in to Mesh through your organization's IdP with single sign-on — this is separate from the IdP data connector. See Identity providers (sign-in).
  • Audit logging is reviewed. You know where the audit log lives, what Mesh records, and how to export it for compliance reporting. See Audit logging.
  • You have a connector credential rotation plan. Each connector credential's expiry date is in your rotation calendar, and you know how to replace a secret before it lapses. See Manage connector credentials.

People readiness​

  • You've completed the dashboard walkthrough. You can read the overall risk score, the bubble chart, and an identity's risk signals, and you can show others how. See Your first dashboard view.
  • Support paths are known. Your team knows how to diagnose common sign-in, connector, and export issues, how to check service status, and what to include when contacting Axiad. See Troubleshooting and getting help.

After go-live​

Keep the momentum going:

  • Add more connectors as you expand coverage — the correlation gets better with every source. See Connectors & Integrations.
  • Resolve profiling gaps as they appear to keep your risk score accurate. See Identities.
  • Watch the release notes for new connectors and features.
