# Administrator tasks

This chapter is written for administrators who must manage and maintain Ping Autonomous Identity.

Ping® Autonomous Identity is an entitlements and roles analytics system that lets you fully manage your company's access to your data.

An entitlement refers to the rights or privileges assigned to a user or thing for access to specific resources. A company can have millions of entitlements without a clear picture of what they are, what they do, and who they are assigned to. Ping Autonomous Identity solves this problem by using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technology to determine the full entitlements landscape for your company. The system also detects potential risks arising from incorrect or over-provisioned entitlements that lead to policy violations. Ping Autonomous Identity eliminates the manual re-certification of entitlements and provides a centralized, transparent, and contextual view of all access points within your company.
