Delinea Privilege Control for Cloud Entitlements
Your clouds hold more admins than your admin groups show. Someone should be able to list them — Delinea Privilege Control for Cloud Entitlements finds who and what holds access in AWS, Azure and GCP, flags shadow admins, stale accounts and AI usage, and puts cloud privilege in front of your PAM team.

Understand cloud entitlement management before you buy it
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is cloud entitlement management?
CIEM lists who and what can act in your clouds, and flags access that is bigger than it needs to be.
Per-cloud IAM exports vs continuous entitlement discovery — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Per-cloud IAM exports, read by hand | Delinea Privilege Control for Cloud Entitlements |
|---|---|---|
| Finding admin-level accounts | Export each cloud’s IAM and read it | Shadow admins flagged across three clouds |
| Accounts nobody uses | Left until an audit asks | Stale accounts listed for retirement |
| AI and machine access | Outside the review entirely | Discovered beside human accounts |
| Who owns cloud privilege | Each cloud team, separately | The PAM team, on the Delinea Platform |
| How often it is checked | A yearly or quarterly sweep | Continuous discovery as the estate changes |
| What it is NOT | — | A CNAPP, a runtime agent, or an India-hosted service |
The cheapest test is the free trial: connect one account per cloud and count the shadow admins and stale accounts it finds.
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
Clouds
You connect the AWS, Azure and Google Cloud estates you want covered; Delinea names those three and no others, so a fourth cloud or a private cloud stays outside its view.
Discovery
A built-in feature that keeps listing who and what holds cloud access: people, machine accounts and AI usage, with over-privileged users, shadow admins and stale accounts flagged.
Authorization
Delinea pitches the product as reducing cloud risk by centralising authorization, so cloud permissions are judged by the same team and console that already run privileged access.
Platform
Platform tenants live in the geography chosen at provisioning — AU, CA, EU, SEA, UAE, UK or US — and are replicated across two regions inside it; none of them is in India.
Three clouds in, risky identities out — discovery feeds the same Delinea Platform that runs your vault and server PAM.
Six capabilities. Discover, analyse, reduce.
Delinea Privilege Control for Cloud Entitlements shows who can do what in your clouds — and what to take away.
AWS, Azure and GCP together
One inventory spans the three public clouds Delinea names, rather than a separate native IAM report for each provider.
AI counted beside people
Continuous Identity Discovery lists AI usage next to human and machine accounts, so agents are not left out of the review.
Users with too much reach
Identities whose cloud rights exceed what their role needs are flagged, giving the team a cut list instead of a raw export.
Admins nobody listed
Accounts that hold admin-level power without sitting in an obvious admin group are surfaced, the blind spot reviews miss.
Access nobody uses
Dormant cloud accounts are called out so they can be retired before an attacker finds and reuses one of them quietly.
Cloud rights beside the vault
Findings sit on the Delinea Platform with Secret Server and Server PAM, so one PAM team owns data-centre and cloud privilege.

Here’s what genuinely sets it apart — and exactly where it stops.
The PAM team gets the cloud too
Most CIEM arrives inside a CNAPP and lands with the cloud-security team. Delinea sells it from the privileged-access side, on the platform that runs Secret Server and Server PAM, so the team that vaults admin passwords also sees who holds admin-grade cloud rights.
Shadow admins and AI usage, not just roles
Continuous Identity Discovery looks for the identities a policy review tends to miss: accounts with admin power outside any admin group, accounts nobody has used in months, and AI usage sitting beside human and machine accounts. Delinea runs it continuously, so the list moves as the clouds change.
A short, free trial before any quote
Delinea offers a free 30-day trial, which is long enough to connect one account in each cloud and see what the discovery feature flags in your own estate. Because nothing is priced in public, that trial result is the best evidence to take into the quote conversation.
Where it stops
Entitlement posture, not a CNAPP: no runtime defence, no vulnerability or IaC scanning, and only three clouds named. There is no price list, no analyst placement for this product and no India hosting region, and the page does not say how it connects to your accounts.
The numbers behind the platform
What your Delinea cloud entitlements rollout looks like
List the clouds and owners
Write down every AWS account, Azure subscription and GCP project, and who answers for each, before the trial starts.
Start the 30-day trial
Connect one account per cloud, ask Delinea how it connects, and note which permissions the trial needs from you.
Read the first findings
Sort shadow admins, stale accounts and AI usage by owner, and check a sample by hand against each cloud’s own IAM.
Cut one batch back
Retire a set of stale accounts and trim one over-privileged role with its owner, then see that nothing in production broke.
Quote and pick a region
Take trial results into the quote, choose SEA or UAE for the tenant, and settle residency terms in the contract.

Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“The trial turned up two Azure accounts with owner rights that sat in no admin group. Neither had been reviewed since launch.”
“We already ran Secret Server, so putting cloud entitlements in front of the same PAM team was an easy internal sell.”
“Stale AWS users were the quick win. Retiring them took a week of owner emails, not a quarter of meetings.”
“It sees identities, not workloads. We still needed a separate tool for misconfigurations and container runtime.”
Where everyone sits — the grids
Analyst firms bury this view behind paywalls, and G2 retired its Grid. So here’s TechBag’s synthesis of the CIEM market — tap any vendor to see why it sits where it does.

Which approach fits you?
Honest fit signals — because the fastest way to lose your trust is to pretend one product wins every scenario.
Choose Delinea’s CIEM if…
- ✓Secret Server or Server PAM already runs your privileged access and you want cloud rights under the same team
- ✓Shadow admins, stale accounts and AI usage across AWS, Azure and GCP are what worry you most
- ✓You can run a 30-day trial on real accounts before negotiating a quote
Compare alternatives if…
- ✓You also need posture, workload and IaC scanning — Wiz and Tenable Cloud Security cover those in one platform
- ✓Removing standing cloud access is the goal — CyberArk Secure Cloud Access is built around just-in-time grants
- ✓Auditors want cloud access certified per person — SailPoint CIEM runs those campaigns
Do not expect…
- ✓A tenant hosted in India: Singapore or the UAE is as close as the platform gets
- ✓Runtime protection, vulnerability scanning or a published price
- ✓An analyst rating for this product — Delinea’s Leader placements are in PAM
Delinea Privilege Control for Cloud Entitlements is one of 19 cloud & workload security products TechBag carries. The Cloud & Workload Security guide narrows them to a shortlist and shows the reasoning. →
What does reviewing cloud access by hand cost you?
Drag the sliders (cloud identities; cloud-engineer hour cost). Estimates model the time spent reviewing cloud permissions by hand at an assumed 1.5 hours per identity a year, with 70% of it removed by continuous discovery and flagged findings. Both figures are assumptions. Illustrative.
Loaded cost = salary + overheads per productive hour. Illustrative only — your TechBag quote models your actual environment and modules.

The 8 questions to ask every vendor
Take this into your next vendor call — including ours.
Are all your clouds among AWS, Azure and GCP? Anything else, such as a private cloud, sits outside this product.
How does the product connect to each account, and what read or write permissions must you grant it?
Which of the four finding types matters most to you: over-privilege, shadow admins, stale accounts or AI usage?
Does the product change permissions itself, or hand a list to cloud owners? Get the rightsizing path in writing.
Do you already run a CNAPP with CIEM? Check what its entitlement module does before buying a second tool.
Is a Singapore or UAE tenant acceptable to your regulator and DPDPA advisers, given there is no India region?
Will Secret Server or Server PAM sit on the same Delinea Platform tenant, and in which geography?
What is the licence unit — accounts, identities or resources? Ask for INR with GST and the term in the quote.
