Role Engineering

Enterprises always have a challenge to manage and audit user access to IT systems. With millions of access rights, this has been very difficult, especially during periods of expanding IT system portfolio or restructuring organization hierarchy. As a result, organizations experience the following problems:

Difficult to audit for “who has access to what?”

Redundant privileges which are cause of threat

Difficult to manage many privileges for a user, on a variety of systems and platforms

More time to provide accurate access to legitimate users

Most enterprises today adapt Role-based Access Control (RBAC) - the management of IT privileges in accordance to business roles -- as best practice and as a solution to the privileges quality and control issues. In a role-based environment, 500 roles may replace a million individual access rights, making it easier to manage and maintain. Furthermore, roles correspond to business practices, and as such enhance collaboration between business and IT.
