RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) in SailPoint

Any organization's security policy must now include Identity and Access Management (IAM). IAM ensures that only authorized workers have access to particular systems and data, hence limiting exposure and lowering risk for your firm. Many Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems employ the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) technique to allocate rights for who may do what within particular IT roles, such as apps, based on the roles of the users and the structure of the company.

What does SailPoint's RBAC mean? How Is It Operated?

SailPoint provides a Role-Based method through a Role-Based Access Control concept. SailPoint entitlement is not left unchecked in any enterprise. Every new employee will be assigned to a specific employment role inside the company. The SailPoint architecture provides role-based modeling in two tiers.

IT Roles Linked to Business Roles: Permissions or Entitlements

The basis for role modeling in SailPoint is entitlements or permissions. When we link entitlements and wrap entitlements inside a role model, we logically organize entitlements into role models.

A user can join generic jobs like Manager or Security Analyst, which are known as business roles. Within each of these positions, we will map the IT roles necessary for them to do their duties. A Manager must have access to the following programs (app1, app5, app7, app8, and app10) upon joining an organization. If another person within the organization is given the manager job role, the access is immediately encased. Because of this, upon joining an organization, a new member is assigned a business role, and any access that is contained therein will automatically be assigned to them.

The user is automatically granted access to these resources. Within each of these applications, a business further specifies their entitlement. For instance, birthright placement is used by default if they are granted access, such as reading or execution access. Each time you provide a business role to a particular individual, all encapsulating access will be provisioned immediately. It shows that companies have consolidated rights into a single position inside any given organization, favoring a single mapping over several ones, and focusing on access governance. IT responsibilities are mapped into business roles using control association.

Control Association: Any mapped IT roles will be assigned automatically if we map business roles in a way that is allowed or necessary. Additionally.

RBAC's Advantages for Organizations

RBAC offers businesses a number of advantages.

1. Centralized access: RBAC can be used by any type of business to establish centralized access. This implies that when you log in, you'll be able to see the roles that have been assigned to your end users. As an alternative, you can view the business roles that have been assigned as well as the IT tasks that have been identified. This is a result of the closer ties between IT responsibilities and business profiles.

2. Role information: You can see everything from all angles by opening the identity cubes. It indicates that you are able to access the particular work role and are aware of what is and is not acceptable in your company.

3. Information about compliance: Compliance information describes how well your identity complies with risk modeling and business requirements. You may set policies and control access in your organization with SailPoint. RBAC enhances SailPoint's adherence to laws including GDPR, SOX, HIPPA, and others.

4. Lower third-party risk: SailPoint's RBAC lowers third-party risk by giving external users, such suppliers and business partners, defined roles.

5. Adopt the least privilege policy: RBAC automatically modifies access rights as roles change, upholding the "least privilege" principle.

RBAC Models

There are four RBAC models:

l User, roles, and permissions are the three primary components of core RBAC, also known as basic RBAC. According to this paradigm, a single user can have many job roles, and multiple users can have the same job role. This is known as the one-to-many mapping principle.

l Level-headed RBAC: The fourth element of RBAC models is a hierarchy that spells out how seniority relates to different occupations. You eliminate redundancies by automatically granting senior roles access to subordinate positions' privileges, eliminating the need to declare certain permissions where duties coincide.

l Users who are members of one position cannot be assigned membership to another job that has a conflict of interest. This is known as Static Separation of Duty (SSD) Relations.

l Dynamic Separation of Duty (DSD) Relations: Depending on the task being completed at the time, a user may need a different level of access, hence DSD (Dynamic Separation of Duty) regulates the rights enabled during that session.
