Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah logs in with her username and key
First step is proving who she claims to be
Authentication checks her digital face
Password plus token grants her rightful place

[Chorus]
Who are you, what can you do
Identity first, permissions true
Authenticate then authorize
Least privilege keeps the castle wise
Check the badge, guard the door
Give just enough and nothing more

[Verse 2]
Now the system knows that Sarah's real
Authorization spins the access wheel
Can she read the files or change the code
Permissions map her allowed road

[Chorus]
Who are you, what can you do
Identity first, permissions true
Authenticate then authorize
Least privilege keeps the castle wise
Check the badge, guard the door
Give just enough and nothing more

[Bridge]
Multi-factor makes it stronger
Single sign-on, queues grow shorter
Role-based access, clean and neat
Temporary tokens can't be beat
Audit trails track every move
Security protocols improve

[Verse 3]
Admin rights are precious gold
Never scatter, carefully controlled
Minimum access does the trick
Overpermissions make systems sick

[Final Chorus]
Who are you, what can you do
Identity first, permissions true
Authenticate then authorize
Least privilege keeps the castle wise
Check the badge, guard the door
Give just enough and nothing more
IAM protects what matters most

[Outro]
Three pillars standing strong and true
Identity, access, privileges few
The gateway guards what lies within
Let the right ones enter in
