Defining and maintaining compliant Managing access for a large organization can be a daunting task. Some challenging task, especially when it comes to ensuring compliance with security policies. Different types of applications and use cases are better suited to require different approaches to authorization policies, with some requiring a more structured role-based approach , whereas while others require necessitate real-time contextual decisions. To address this complexity, organizations often adopt one of three access control models: Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), and or Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC) are three approaches to managing authorization policies. While each . Each of these methods has its own strengths ( and weaknesses)limitations, and no one single method approach can cover all the necessary aspects of access control. That's why To offer a comprehensive solution, EmpowerID employs a hybrid access control model that supports RBAC relational modeling as combines the structure for defining an organization and its overall policies, while leveraging and policy definition of RBAC with the flexibility and real-time contextual nature of ABAC and PBAC to offer the best comprehensive solution. 

This The hybrid approach adopted by EmpowerID allows organizations to focus on what they are protecting — their resources and the actions that can be performed against on them. In EmpowerID Operations, these "resource actions" which are blocks of code known as "EmpowerID Operations." Each EmpowerID Operation is a protected code object that when executed, performs a specific action against a specific resource object, such as adding a user to a group, creating a mailbox, or viewing a report. In order to perform resource execute specific actions on resource objects, enable users to perform resource actions. However, to perform these actions, users must have the operations that allow them to do so. In order to facilitate this, EmpowerID bundles operations—as well as native system rights, where applicable—into To simplify access control, EmpowerID groups operations into Access Levels, which are then grouped together combined into Management Roles. You can think of Management Roles as are collections of operational capabilities packaged together as job-based bundles, allowing for quick and easy bulk assignments assignment of resources to users based on what they do in your organizationtheir job functions. These assignments can be fine-tuned by further customized based on user attributes , such as the time of day, IP addresses, device used, and moreand devices used. By combining the strengths of RBAC, ABAC, and PBAC, EmpowerID offers a flexible and comprehensive solution for managing access control.
