Role based access | PS Pathfinder

What is role-based access?

Role-based access assigns permissions and access rights to users based on their roles and responsibilities within an organization. Rather than granting individual permissions to each user, access is managed through predefined roles and groups.

How is it useful?

In BeyondInsight and Password Safe, this model helps ensure that users only have access to the systems and functions necessary for their job.

• Group permissions: Permissions are assigned when you create a group. Permissions are system-wide and provide access to various components of the BeyondInsight infrastructure. There are permissions that are specific to accessing and using features of the Password Safe application.
• Password Safe roles: The roles define the actions that Password Safe users can take when using the Password Safe web portal for password releases or access to applications.
