# Welcome ## Abbey secures cloud infrastructure by enabling any engineer to automate user access directly in Terraform. *** ### How Abbey Works When it comes to employee access to cloud infrastructure, Workflows allow for definition of how someone should get access (who should approve), and Policies define whether someone should have access (or when access should be revoked). Abbey is built for the Infrastructure engineer, allowing them to define both Workflows and Policies via the Abbey Terraform Provider. Any team can deploy Abbey quickly utilizing your existing Git repository, CI/CD pipeline, and Terraform orchestration system. Infrastructure engineers can define how access should be granted and when access should be revoked, reducing their manual workload. End users get frictionless access. Security teams can rest easy knowing that a model of least privilege is being followed. And Compliance teams get an automated audit trail of all changes. {% embed url="" fullWidth="false" %} *Abbey in 3 minutes* {% endembed %} *** ## Get Started
