Role Based Access Control
Fully automated access to the right resources at the right time
Allocating access rights based on roles
Role Based Access Control (RBAC) is a structured approach to managing access rights within an organisation. By assigning rights based on roles, you ensure a transparent and secure way of access management.
RBAC ensures that employees have access to the appropriate resources based on their specific role and responsibilities within the organisation.
- Quick and error-free rights allocation: With RBAC, roles determine rights, ensuring they’re granted swiftly and without errors. This minimises human mistakes, leading to a streamlined assignment of access rights.
- Minimal IT involvement: The automation in assigning rights means the IT team spends less time on account and permissions management. This reduces the burden of administrative tasks and streamlines the overall management process.
- Immediate productivity in new roles: When employees switch roles, RBAC lets them dive right into their new position without delays. They gain immediate access to essential tools, boosting overall productivity.

Why opt for Role Based Access Control (RBAC)?
Consistency &
transparency
By designating rights based on preset roles, RBAC provides a consistent and transparent method for managing access. Individuals with identical roles have the same rights, ensuring clarity and predictability.
Flexibility &
scalability
RBAC was designed to align with your organisation’s growth. Introduction of new roles and adjusting permissions are streamlined, ensuring the system remains flexible amidst evolving business requirements.
Regulatory
compliance
Utilising RBAC makes it simpler to meet regulatory standards and undergo audits. By having a comprehensive understanding of who has access to what, you can demonstrate that necessary measures have been taken to protect sensitive information.
A Look at the Options
Role-specific rights
In RBAC, each user within your organization is assigned a distinct role, typically based on their job role, department, or location. These roles define the user’s access rights, making the rights management process streamlined and automated. The result? A system that’s both transparent and secure, where users consistently possess the appropriate permissions.
Dynamic permissions
HelloID has the capability to independently establish groups within your target system. For instance, when there’s an addition of a new department to the HR system, HelloID promptly identifies the change and assigns the necessary memberships accordingly. This method, labelled as Dynamic Permissions, provides flexible and reactive rights management that evolves with the changes in your organisation.
Security through automation
In HelloID’s RBAC, automation plays a pivotal role. Utilising specific threshold values, HelloID guarantees that only legitimate modifications are made, preventing unintended operations and potential security vulnerabilities. This introduces an added level of security and confidence for your organisation.
Detailed permissions
With RBAC in HelloID, you can set detailed permissions, ranging from account creation to specific sub-permissions in target systems. This flexibility ensures a granular control mechanism over each user’s access rights, allowing you to ensure that each user has exactly the rights they need, and nothing more.

RBAC is a method that allows you to automatically assign the appropriate access rights to users based on a role model. The role they fulfill within your organisation is crucial. By adopting this approach, you guarantee consistent rights for every individual with the same role, you ensure employees can access the necessary applications and data they need, and you reduce the burden on the IT department.
Implementing RBAC isn’t complex, but it does require proper preparation. It’s crucial to clearly define which roles exist within your organisation and which rights they require. However, think about setting thresholds to prevent unintended changes. Using business rules, you can determine exactly which rights you assign to each role. Getting started with RBAC thus demands a time commitment and expertise. However, Tools4ever’s experts are ready to guide you through the process step by step.
Roles in RBAC are tied to the jobs that employees can perform within your organisation. Each job is distinct and requires different access rights. Based on a role, you decide in detail which rights you grant to a user. Due to these roles, employees automatically receive the appropriate rights.
Every organisation operates with various applications and systems. RBAC streamlines the process, ensuring users are granted the right permissions efficiently and without errors. Fundamentally, RBAC can fit any organisation. However, the method becomes more relevant for organisations with a broader range of roles and a larger workforce. This is because as administrative complexity heightens, the advantages of adopting RBAC become even more pronounced.
