Role Based Access Control (RBAC)

Role-based access control (RBAC) is a method for managing user access to systems, networks, or resources based on their role within an organization. It allows IT administrators to determine the necessary level of access for users with a particular job function and assign them a role with the appropriate set of permissions. ZTrust RBAC offers a simple, manageable approach to access management that is less prone to error than assigning permissions to users individually.

What Capabilities Does Ztrust RBAC Offer ?

Role Creation and Management

Admins can create new roles, define the permissions for each role, and assign users to these roles. zTrust simplifies this process with an intuitive interface, ensuring roles are consistently and accurately defined.

User Assignment

ZTrust enables assigning users to multiple roles, with permissions determined by the combined roles. It streamlines bulk assignments and provides tools to manage and audit access, ensuring appropriate user permissions.

Benefits of Role Based Access Control

Reduce complexity

New employees gain access based on their roles, simplifying creating, maintaining, and auditing policies

Increased visibility

RBAC gives network administrators more visibility and oversight into the business, while also guaranteeing authorized users are only given access.

Decreased risk of data breaches

Implementing RBAC means restricting access to sensitive information, thus reducing the potential for data breaches or leakage.

Scalability

Organizations undergoing rapid growth or transformation can effectively assign, remove & modify roles quickly, ensuring minimal disruption to daily operations

Automate and Simplify User Provisioning with RBAC

ZTrust streamlines user provisioning by automating permission assignment. When a new user is created, ZTrust can automatically grant them the right access based on their pre-defined role, eliminating manual configuration for each user.

During provisioning, users could be assigned to relevant groups based on their roles and given access for tasks only when needed. This simplifies the process, ensures consistency, and reduces the risk of errors by enforcing least privilege.
