Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Control who can access what in your IOA Cloud environment with granular permissions and team collaboration features.

What is RBAC?

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a security model that restricts system access based on user roles and permissions. In IOA Cloud, RBAC ensures that team members can only access the features and data they need for their specific responsibilities.

Key Benefits

  • Security: Prevent unauthorized access to sensitive governance settings
  • Compliance: Meet regulatory requirements for access control
  • Collaboration: Enable team members to work within their expertise areas
  • Audit Trail: Track who made what changes and when

Getting Started with RBAC

Security Best Practices

Principle of Least Privilege

Grant users only the minimum permissions they need to perform their job functions. Regularly review and audit access levels.

Regular Access Reviews

Conduct quarterly reviews of user access and permissions. Remove access for users who no longer need it.

Audit Logging

Enable comprehensive audit logging to track all access attempts and permission changes for compliance and security monitoring.
