Roles were invented to make the provisioning and deprovisioning of users easier. The ability to give a new user the access needed to perform a job role is leaps and bounds better than manually provisioning individual users for their specific duties on an ad-hoc basis.

The challenge comes from the recent explosion in the numbers and types of business roles. Even slight variations in a person’s profile or access needs would lead to the creation of an entirely separate role – and more specialized roles may go overlooked, with no controls at all.

Learn about the security and compliance vulnerabilities of governing identities and segregating access with the concept of roles, and discover how governing at the entitlement level can improve access control.

Discover how to automate controls and reporting, and manage orphan accounts to ensure that former users don’t retain access after they leave the organization.
