tenfold Bolsters Free Identity Governance Tool with New Features

"tenfold’s Community Edition gives organizations under 150 users full access to our IGA solution," tenfold writes — and with two recently added capabilities the company says that free tier now includes shared-content access reviews and centralized event auditing alongside the rest of its identity-governance toolset.

As organizations move past manual, spreadsheet-driven practices, tenfold positions its Community Edition (CE) as a no-cost bridge for smaller IT teams that need Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) but find traditional enterprise platforms either too costly or too complex. The CE is available for organizations with fewer than 150 managed users — a total that the vendor counts to include admin and service accounts — and, per tenfold, carries no feature or usage limits beyond that user cap.

tenfold Community Edition: scope, setup, and parity with paid tiers

tenfold describes the Community Edition as offering full parity with its highest paid licensing tier: features and integrations are released to CE users at the same time as paid customers, and there are no premium-only holdbacks. The product is designed for quick onboarding, using a streamlined setup wizard and built-in integrations for Active Directory and Entra ID, plus video tutorials to guide initial configuration. Tenfold also points CE users to an official Community Edition subreddit for peer and vendor-supported help.

Shared content governance across Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint

One of the CE’s new features focuses on a frequent blind spot: shared content in Microsoft 365 (M365). Tenfold’s shared content governance provides an overview of all shared files across Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint — including items shared in Teams channels, one-on-one chats, SharePoint sites, or directly from users’ OneDrives. That central visibility is paired with recurring access reviews that prompt file, channel or site owners to re-evaluate who retains access to items they have shared.

Each reviewer receives a link to a personalized dashboard presenting a checklist of in-scope items they have shared with others, enabling quick confirmation or revocation of access. Tenfold frames this as a way to permit robust collaboration while curbing oversharing and lingering access in cloud storage.

Event auditing: pairing governance with real-time log analysis

The second new CE capability adds event auditing to the governance toolset. Tenfold says the feature ingests and analyzes event log data and can record event types of an organization’s choosing into tenfold’s database. Users can filter that event data by user, system or event type, and they can save and share queries to streamline repeated searches.

Tenfold highlights operational uses: the event-auditing view helps teams "quickly identify suspicious activity such as login spikes or newly created admin accounts." The vendor frames the capability as a complement to governance — supplying up-to-the-minute context that can enable responses to emerging identity threats rather than relying solely on passive controls.

How technologists, procurement leaders, and end users are affected

• Technologists and security teams: gain consolidated visibility into shared M365 content and a searchable event log store that can be filtered by user, system or event type, supporting faster reviews and incident triage.
• Procurement and IT leaders: can trial a full-featured IGA stack at no license cost for organizations under the 150-user threshold, with the same release cadence as paid tiers — a factor that changes price-to-value comparisons for small and mid-sized deployments.
• End users and content owners: will see recurring access-review prompts and personalized dashboards that require action to confirm or revoke shared access, directly influencing how long external and internal sharing privileges persist.

Tenfold positions the Community Edition as an entry point for organizations that "have outgrown manual governance" — the company lists common manual pains such as onboarding delays, overprivileged users, stale accounts and lack of visibility — and it invites interested teams to request the CE through tenfold’s website or to arrange a personalized demo.
