Management Roles

The management roles, in EmpowerID, is the bundle of technical roles, entitlements, and permissions to complete everyday job duties. The management roles are needed in modern organizations as not all access needed is either job-based or necessarily assigned directly to a business role.

For example, a cross-functional team working on initiatives or projects may need “activity-based” functional roles known as “management roles”.

Management roles not only provide activity-based roles but also, can be used for cross-department collaborations and project teams. In a nutshell, the management role is more flexible than the business role as it is less tied to a person’s job description.

Each Management Role is a child of a of a Management Role Definition. Management Role Definitions provide a baseline of access that you can use as a starting point for defining the access to resources given to a Management Role. 

It is worth noting that management roles inherit access level assignment from their definition and then add any assignment to itself as depicted in the image below.

EmpowerID includes a number of Management Roles that we can assign to people out of the box, and we can create new ones as needed.
