Daily Stale Privileged-Grant Sweep with Auto-Revocation Drafts

Each morning it scans Postgres for privileged grants that have outlived their intended window or sat unused, drafts revocation actions.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerDaily scheduled sweep
  • ActionQuery Postgres for stale or unused grantsPostgreSQLPostgres
  • LogicGroup by owner and rank by exposure
  • ActionSend owner confirmation digest in SlackSlack
  • OutputWrite confirmed revocations back to PostgresPostgreSQLPostgres

What it does

It finds privileged grants that should no longer exist — past their expiry, unused for weeks, or tied to departed users — and walks each toward revocation with an owner confirmation step so nothing critical is cut blindly.

When to use it

Use this to keep standing privileged access from accumulating. It suits teams that store access state in their own database and want a recurring least-privilege cleanup with a human checkpoint before revoking.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule kicks off the sweep.
  2. 2A Postgres query returns grants past TTL, idle beyond a usage threshold, or owned by deactivated accounts.
  3. 3A logic step groups findings by resource owner and ranks them by exposure.
  4. 4Slack sends each owner a digest of their stale grants with Confirm-revoke and Keep buttons and a reason field.
  5. 5Confirmed revocations write back to Postgres as revoked with the approver and timestamp, closing the audit loop.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  2. 2
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  3. 3
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  4. 4
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  5. 5
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
