The Lifecycle of an RBAC Role
Rich Manfredi·Solutions Architect·2 min
Rich Manfredi explains why an RBAC role should be treated as an ongoing program, not a one-time project, walking through the onboarding, maintenance, and offboarding phases of a role's lifecycle.
Main Takeaways
- Roles are not a one-and-done project. They follow a lifecycle.
- During onboarding, roles are named and granted the access needed for their initial purpose.
- Maintenance is where many programs fall behind.
- Updated metadata helps both end users and audit and compliance teams understand the purpose of each role.
- Periodic review is essential to keep role information accurate and trustworthy.
- Offboarding closes the loop. Roles must be retired cleanly to keep the broader RBAC program consistent.
