Learn more: [Access Policies](docId\:nb3bZm-bsA3w7AEFpbDzs) *** **Enabled user access revocation for Bridge Access Management: **Kyndryl approvers, DPEs, account managers and account administrators can now revoke previously granted account access directly from the access request management workflow. In addition to approving and rejecting requests, approvers can remove unnecessary or outdated access assignments from a single location, helping maintain accurate permissions, support compliance requirements, and ensure access remains aligned with current business needs. *** ## July 2026 **July 22** **Self-service Access Request Management is now available: **Kyndryl users can now request access to Kyndryl Bridge accounts and access groups directly from a single Bridge Access Management self-service experience. The capability enables approver personas to review, approve, or deny access requests through a structured workflow. It also provides users with a single pane of glass to view their associated Kyndryl Bridge accounts, permissions and access groups. This helps delivery and consult teams rely more on Kyndryl Bridge for both service operations and access requests. The experience reduces friction caused by ARMS dependency on Kyndryl VPN, especially for teams working through customer VPNs. By bringing access request management into Bridge Access Management users can avoid unnecessary VPN switching and context changes. This improves user experience, strengthens access governance and supports broader Kyndryl Bridge adoption. *** **July 15** **Enhancement****** **Service Access Management removed from the Kyndryl Bridge menu**: The Service Access Management menu option has been removed from the Kyndryl Bridge main menu. All user access management capabilities are now consolidated under Bridge Access Management.

Bridge IAM now supports all active Bridge accounts and tenant‑scoped access groups in ARMS. In parallel, ARMS continues as the system of record for access requests, approvals, and governance decisions, with all approved access grants and revocations automatically synchronized back to Bridge IAM. This separation of responsibilities ensures consistent governance execution, improves visibility and control over access boundaries, and prevents stale or non‑compliant access across the platform. *** **June 17** **New Okta FGA authorization system introduced: **A new Bridge authorization system based on Okta FGA is now introduced. As part of the IAM Convergence strategy, Okta FGA now serves as the central authorization engine, enabling consistent access control across Bridge and AIOps services. Okta FGA has been enabled for a defined set of Bridge accounts, while others continue to use the existing Bridge authorization system. This update centralizes access control and improves consistency and security across services. *** ::: *** :::ExpandableHeading{isOpen="true"} # Bridge Tag Management ## July 2026 **July 22** **Enhancement****** **In-App notifications now available for Tag Repository import:** The Tag Management service has adopted In-App notifications for bulk tag imports to keep tag administrators and platform administrators informed about the import status.
