Role Engineering

Role engineering is the process of defining and designing roles within an organization’s access control system based on the specific responsibilities and tasks of different job positions. It involves analyzing what each role needs to do, then creating a set of permissions that grant appropriate access to systems and data. This structured approach helps ensure that employees have the necessary privileges to perform their duties while maintaining security and minimizing risk. Essentially, role engineering aligns access rights with job functions, improving security, efficiency, and ease of managing user permissions across the organization.
