Partner Access Details

EmpowerID employs a structured approach to access management through the use of Management Roles, which are essential in restricting and delegating access to various resources and functionalities. These roles are categorized based on their function within EmpowerID and are prefixed accordingly to signify their specific utility. This framework is particularly effective for delegating access to partners, ensuring they have the necessary permissions to manage their operations within the system while maintaining overall security and integrity.

Types of Management Roles:

UI (User Interface) Management Roles:
- Purpose: These roles are specifically designed to grant access to particular UI elements within the EmpowerID Web interface.
- Functionality: Users assigned UI-prefixed roles can interact with specific parts of the interface, which may include administrative panels, reporting dashboards, or user management screens, depending on the role's specifications.
VIS (Visibility) Management Roles:
- Purpose: VIS-prefixed roles enable users to view specific objects within EmpowerID.
- Functionality: This access is crucial for monitoring, oversight, and management purposes. Users can see certain data or system components, aiding in informed decision-making and operational control.
ACT (Action) Management Roles:
- Purpose: ACT-prefixed roles empower users to manage specific objects within EmpowerID.
- Functionality: These roles involve a higher level of access, allowing users to perform actions like modifying, adding, or removing certain objects or settings in the system.
Role Bundles (RB) Management Roles
- Definition: RB Management Roles are composite roles that include a collection of various Management Roles.
- Utility: These role bundles simplify the process of delegating access by grouping related roles into a single assignment.
- Access Provision: Users assigned an RB Management Role inherit the access rights of all the individual roles included in that bundle, making it an efficient method to grant comprehensive permissions tailored to specific user needs or partner requirements.

To make delegating access to partners easy, EmpowerID includes the following two Role Bundle Management Roles.
