Overview

Access management for resources is a critical function for any organization.

Role Based Access Control (RBAC) helps to:

• Access Management
• Resource Management

• Manage who has to access to resources, areas to access.

Role Based Access Control

RBAC restricts network access based on a person's role within an organization and has become one of the main methods for advanced access control. The roles in RBAC refer to the levels of access that employees have in the network.

Role

A role is a collection of permissions that you can apply to users. Using roles makes it easier to add, remove, and adjust permissions than assigning permissions to users individually.

As the user base increases in scale and complexity, roles become particularly useful.

Composite Role

A Composite Role is a role that has one or more additional roles associated with it. When a composite role is mapped to the user, the user also gains the roles associated with that composite.
