The IAM Sketch diagram tool simplifies the process of designing and visualizing both current and future Identity and Access Management (IAM) system architectures.

Main Diagram
Start with a template of the IAM Conceptual Model. Use this to create a high-level view of your four core capabilities, Systems of Record, and Identity Consumers.

Build with Drag & Drop
Easily add your components, shapes, text, and arrows using the toolbar.

Detail View Pages
Expand any core capability with dedicated pages to add details and functions.
