6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the unique identifier was passed in a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) claim between the federated access provider and the cloud service provider when the IAM entity was access through the federated service provider using single sign on.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the synthetic role has a name associated with the IAM entity or IAM entity entitlement.

8. A method for identity management for cloud based computing services in a distributed network computer environment, comprising:

obtaining identity management data from one or more source systems associated with a distributed enterprise computing environment, the identity management data comprising data on a set of identity management artifacts utilized in identity management for the distributed enterprise computing environment, wherein the source systems include a federated access provider and a cloud service provider;

evaluating the identity management data to determine a set of identities and a set of entitlements associated with the set of identities, including:

determining, from the identity management data, an Identity and Access Management (IAM) entity entitlement representing a first access right for an IAM entity of the cloud service provider, the IAM entity associated with an enterprise associated with the distributed computer environment, and

determining, from the identity management data, a cloud access entitlement associated with the federated access provider, wherein the cloud access entitlement represents a second access right for the IAM entity of the cloud service provider through the federated access provider such that the federated access provider allows a user to access the cloud service provider utilized by the enterprise;

receiving a synthetic role definition comprising a mapping between the IAM entity entitlement and the cloud access entitlement;

creating a synthetic role at the identity management system based on the received synthetic role definition, wherein the created synthetic role associates the IAM entity entitlement and the cloud access entitlement;

assigning the created synthetic role to a first identity, whereby assigning the created synthetic role to the first identity causes the first identity at the identity management system to be associated with the IAM entity, the cloud access entitlement and the mapping between the IAM entity entitlement and the cloud access entitlement; and

based on the assignment of the created synthetic role to the first identity, interacting with the federated service provider of the enterprise to provision a native account at the federated service provider associated with the first identity with the cloud access entitlement.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the cloud access entitlement allows access to the IAM entity at the cloud service provider using single sign on.

10. The method claim 9 , further comprising instructions for:

obtaining an event log from the cloud service provider, wherein the event log comprises events associated with the IAM entity at the cloud service provider;

determining one or more events of the event log associated with the first identity; and

associating the one or more events with the first identity and the IAM entity entitlement representing the first access right for the IAM entity.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein each event comprises a unique identifier associated with the first identity and determining the one or more events of the event log associated with the first identity comprises parsing each event to determine the unique identifier and determining that the first identity is associated with the unique identifier.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the unique identifier is associated with the native account of the first identity at the federated access provider.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the unique identifier was passed in a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) claim between the federated access provider and the cloud service provider when the IAM entity was access through the federated service provider using single sign on.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the synthetic role has a name associated with the IAM entity or IAM entity entitlement.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon for identity management of cloud based computing services in a distributed network computer environment, the instructions executable by a hardware processor to perform the steps of:

obtaining identity management data from one or more source systems associated with a distributed enterprise computing environment, the identity management data comprising data on a set of identity management artifacts utilized in identity management for the distributed enterprise computing environment, wherein the source systems include a federated access provider and a cloud service provider;
