SAM's Role Manager

Defining and maintaining roles in your organization is the foundation for effective access management. Many companies struggle with defining a set of role-based requirements so that their employees have the right access to the right resources at the right time. The sheer number of users, accounts, systems, and attributes that are aligned with roles can be daunting. Organizations typically utilize the "clone user” process (e.g. “Give John the same access as Mary”) which is highly susceptible to inaccurate provisioning, compliance issues and a lack of entitlement consistency for employees with similar functions. What’s more, business users cannot put in place the conventions to handle out-of-role exceptions so that security and audit understand access requests. Proper role lifecycle management includes all the necessary practices to ensure a clear separation of duties (SoD), mitigate risks and exposure to compliance violations and a clean add/change/remove process.

SAM’s Role Manager is an easy-to-use tool for managers to create and maintain the organization’s roles and resources as new company policy is introduced or applications are added, removed or replaced. SAM lets you maintain one central list of your company’s resources such as software applications, shared drives, databases or even physical assets like laptops and cell phones. Same goes for all your roles! SAM maintains a central repository of your company’s role-based access definitions and, more importantly, puts role creation in the hands of business managers. Let your managers specify access based on the company’s available resources while enforcing SoD rules to prevent compliance violations. Furthermore, easily configure a workflow to approve the roles definition process and conveniently categorize them by business unit or department.

Key benefits:

• Simplify and streamline the process of role creation
• Allow business managers to create access requirements that align organizational operations with user roles
• Provide complete role lifecycle management to modify and delete roles as business conditions change over time
• Impose access policy or SoD rules to ensure compliance with your auditors and to minimize business risk
• Reduce complexity by categorizing roles and resources to provide an orderly layout of your business’ applications and access profiles
• Accommodate a unique role hierarchy based on your business’ requirements

SAM has the tools to manage the entire role lifecycle and keep your company organized and compliant.
