access-and-identity skillA
access-and-identity is agent-read markdown (skill) from cbrock84/headcount: Designs and audits who can reach what — authentication, authorization models, privileged access, service credentials, and joiner-mover-leaver process. Use this to design a permissions model, run an access review, reduce standing privilege, handle offboarding, set up SSO or MFA, manage service and machine credentials, or diagnose why permissions have sprawled..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Access and identity Access accumulates. People change roles and keep the old permissions, services get broad credentials because narrow ones were inconvenient, and contractors' accounts outlive their contracts. Left alone, entitlement always grows and never shrinks. ## Principles that actually hold - **Least privilege, and it must be practical.** A model so restrictive that people share accounts to get work done is worse than a looser one they follow. - **Role-based, not person-based.** Grants attached to individuals are ungovernable at any scale. - **Time-bound elevation over standing privilege.** Nobody should hold administrative access continuously because they occasionally need it. Elevation on request, with a reason, expiring automatically. - **Separate duties where the consequence is severe.** The person who requests a payment does not approve it; the person who writes the deploy does not solely authorize the production change. ## Authentication Single sign-on wherever possible — the value is not convenience, it is that offboarding becomes one action rather than forty. Every system outside SSO is a system someone will still have access to after they leave. …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/access-and-identity@git:20260916.0e7cd01mdr add cbrock84/headcount/access-and-identity@sha256:2b0abd4c219252a8Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
