7.2.2 Enabling Role-Based Access Control

Role-based access control (RBAC) is used to provide a convenient way to assign a user to a particular job function or set of permissions within an enterprise, to control access. In Access Manager, you assign users to roles, based on attributes of their identity, and then associate policies to the role.

To assign a role to users at authentication, you must enable it for Identity Server configuration.

  1. On the Home page, click Identity Servers > [cluster name] > Roles.

  2. Click the role policy’s check box, then click Enable Selected Roles.

  3. To disable the role policy, click the role policy’s check box, then click Disable Selected Roles.

  4. To create a new role, click Manage Policies.

  5. After enabling or disabling role policies, update Identity Server configuration on the Servers tab.
