Authorization Service-Flexible Access Management

Example

Assigning specific roles like 'Administrator', 'Editor', and 'Viewer' within a content management system.

Scenario

In a corporate intranet, an 'Editor' can create and edit content but cannot publish it, while an 'Administrator' has the rights to publish the content or assign roles to other users.

Example

Granting access based on attributes such as department, seniority, or project involvement.

Scenario

In a project management tool, access to project files is restricted based on an employee's department and their role in the project, ensuring that only team members involved in a specific project can view or edit its files.

Example

Periodically reviewing user access rights and revoking them if no longer needed.

Scenario

An IT department conducts quarterly reviews of access rights to sensitive systems, revoking access for users who have changed roles or left the company, thereby maintaining security and minimizing potential internal threats.

Example

Generating reports on user permissions, access patterns, and security breaches.

Scenario

Following a security breach, the system generates a detailed audit trail of accessed resources, helping to identify the breach's scope and the user(s) involved, facilitating a quicker resolution and improved security measures.
