Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Workflow for Enterprise Systems

1. Project Overview

This project implements Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to manage permissions in enterprise systems based on users’ roles. RBAC ensures security, compliance, and operational efficiency by granting access rights according to organizational responsibilities rather than individual accounts.

2. Objectives

Centralize permission management across enterprise applications.
Enforce least privilege by mapping access to roles, not individuals.
Streamline onboarding/offboarding processes.
Maintain compliance with frameworks such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.

4. Components Used

Component	Purpose
Identity Provider (IdP)	Authenticates users (e.g., Okta, Azure AD, AWS IAM Identity Center).
RBAC Policy Engine	Evaluates role mappings and permission rules.
Directory Service	Stores role assignments (e.g., Active Directory).
Target Systems	Applications, databases, cloud services.
Audit Logging	Tracks access requests and actions for compliance.

5. Implementation Steps

Step 1 – Identify Roles

Define roles (e.g., Admin, Manager, Analyst, Guest).
Map each role to specific permissions.
