Policy-Based Access Management with Access Panel

Access Panel provides comprehensive, policy-driven access management to ensure that users receive the right access at the right time, aligned with organizational roles, responsibilities, and compliance standards.

Support for RBAC and ABAC Models

Access Panel supports both Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC):

• RBAC grants access based on a user's assigned role, such as “HR Manager” or “IT Administrator.” Roles are tied to access policies, ensuring consistent permissions across similar job functions.

• ABAC goes a step further, using attributes such as department, location, employment status, or any other defined criteria to dynamically assign or revoke access. This enables fine-grained control over entitlements and supports complex access scenarios.

Access is determined by Criteria Policies and Just-in-Time (JIT) Policies:

• Criteria Policies automatically assign entitlements when user attributes or roles match policy rules.

• JIT Policies activate access on demand for a limited duration, enhancing security and minimizing standing access risks.

Automated, Scalable Access Assignments

Access Panel enables administrators to define clear policies that scale effortlessly across the organization. Once policies are configured, access decisions are automated:

• New hires (Joiners) automatically receive access based on their role and department.

• Changes to attributes (Movers) trigger real-time updates to access rights.

• Departures (Leavers) result in prompt access revocation to maintain security.

Policy enforcement ensures consistency, reducing manual errors and administrative overhead. Additionally, Separation of Duty (SoD) Policies prevent users from being assigned conflicting roles, an essential requirement for compliance frameworks such as SOX and ISO 27001.

Built-in Monitoring and Compliance Tools

To support governance and auditing, Access Panel includes:

• Access Reviews and Attestation Campaigns to periodically validate that access remains appropriate.

• Comprehensive logging and reporting of access decisions for transparency and audit readiness.

• Dashboard visibility into policy outcomes and access status for rapid review and remediation.

Access Panel’s policy-driven framework not only simplifies administration but also strengthens your organization’s security posture and compliance alignment. It helps you answer the critical question: "Who has access to what, and why?"—with clarity and confidence.
