Implement Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) simplifies permission management by assigning users to predefined roles instead of granting permissions individually. This approach reduces administrative overhead, minimizes privilege creep, and improves security and compliance.

Implementation Steps

• Identify business functions such as HR, Finance, IT, and Sales.
• Create security groups or roles based on job responsibilities.
• Assign permissions to roles instead of individual user accounts.
• Add users to the appropriate role groups following the principle of least privilege.
• Review role memberships regularly and remove unnecessary access.
• Document role definitions and approval processes for audit purposes.
• Automate role assignment where possible using identity governance tools.

RBAC should be combined with periodic access reviews and multi-factor authentication for stronger identity security.
