🗝 Business Roles vs. Other RBAC Actors

  • The Business Role and Location structure should be used for common assignments that apply to a large group of people that have a basic organizational commonality such as a business unit, department, job function, or geographic relationship

  • Business role and locations should be used when there is an opportunity to leverage inheritance either on the business role or business location hierarchies to provide common assignments.

  • Direct assignment of Management Roles to individuals is recommended when the assignments are less organizational and more request-based, team-based, project-based or apply to a more narrow set of people within an organizational or job-related grouping.

  • Direct management role or group assignment is also preferred if assignments need to be based on a dynamic attribute or another aspect of a person’s identity.  These assignments can be applied using EmpowerID’s Dynamic Hierarchy Assignment Policies.

Benefits of Business Roles and Locations:

  • Business Roles and Locations provide a familiar and commonly accepted grouping mechanism that non-technical users of the system can recognize and easily navigate.  The structure can be mapped to the organizational structure of the business.

  • Provides an anchor point for mapping external roles and locations from connected systems so that the master person identities can be provisioned into a business structure

  • Business Roles and Locations can be architected to leverage powerful and complex inheritance relationships to allow you to anchor common access and policy assignments very efficiently at varying inheritance levels.  Inheritance eliminates the need to create unnecessary duplicate assignments.

  • Provides a structure for rolling up multiple and varied assignments to a common anchor point allowing the administrator to accumulate widely varying types of assignments and policies to an easily recognized business structure.

Design Strategies and Considerations

When designing your business role and location structure there are a few key questions that you should ask yourself:

  • Will the system be used by non-technical, business-oriented employees or only by centralized, technical, IT staff?

  • What is the architecture of the target back-end resource systems that EmpowerID needs to automatically provision to or provide access to?

  • What entitlements (accounts, mailboxes, home folders) will need to be automatically provisioned?

  • What other access assignments will need to be automatically provisioned?
