1. A access management system comprising:

  • an identity and access management (IAM) system comprising;

    a central directory data storage storing electronic identities of individuals and credentials of the individuals; and

    an IAM computer to;

    receive a request to perform an access management task on an associated target system;

    determine whether the request is approved;

    in response to determining the request is approved, generate an access management request to perform the access management task based on the received request;

    an access management robot facilitation (AMRF) system comprising;

    a robot instruction queue; and

    an access management robot facilitation computer to;

    receive the access management request from the IAM system and extract information from the access management request;

    generate an access management instruction in the robot instruction queue based on the extracted information;

    determine whether the access management instruction is missing required information;

    obtain the required information from the central directory data storage if the access management instruction is missing the required information, and insert the obtained information in the access management instruction;

    mark the access management instruction in the robot instruction queue as not yet started;

    identify when the access management instruction in the robot instruction queue has failed; and

    determine one or more remedial actions that can be performed for the failed access management instruction based on information associated with the failed access management instruction, wherein the one or more remedial actions comprise automatically reprogramming a robot of a plurality of robots included in a robotic process automation (RPA) system to execute the failed access management instruction based on recorded desktop operations of a system administrator, the desktop operations successfully executing access management tasks associated with the failed access management instruction;

    the robotic process automation (RPA) system comprising;

    the plurality of robots configured to control access to a plurality of target systems that include the associated target system,the plurality of robots comprising the robot, wherein the robot is identified as controlling access to the associated target system, the robot including a processor to;

    monitor the robot instruction queue for new access management instructions;

    identify the access management instruction in the robot instruction queue;

    mark the access management instruction in the robot instruction queue as pending;

    execute the access management instruction on the associated target system specified in the access management instruction; and

    update a status of the access management instruction in the robot instruction queue based on the execution of the access management instruction.
