Role Based Security

What is Role Based Security?

Role-Based Security implements access controls and permissions based on users’ organizational roles and responsibilities rather than individual attributes. This security framework defines what actions users can perform, which records they can view or modify, and which system features they can access based on role assignments.

Role-based security encompasses data access, functional permissions, and workflow authorities aligned with job requirements. This approach ensures appropriate segregation of duties, protects sensitive information, maintains compliance with privacy regulations, and simplifies security administration as employees change positions.

Role-based security is fundamental to enterprise software, providing granular control while maintaining manageable governance structures essential for protecting organizational assets and ensuring regulatory compliance.
