Home / Authorization RBAC/ABAC / Management Roles / Current: Creating Management Roles

In EmpowerID, Management Roles are collections of operational capabilities. They are packaged as job-based bundles that let you make quick and easy bulk assignments of resources to users that match what they do in your organization.


Think of Management Roles as a more powerful version of groups that

  • can grant access across platforms and
  • are not limited to granting access for one application or operating system.

EmpowerID includes a number of Management Roles that you can assign to people out of the box, and you can create new ones as needed. For information on Management Roles that are included in EmpowerID, see Shipped Management Roles.
