Enterprise Role Management (ERM)

An identity and access management (IdAM) infrastructure should include abstraction layers for administering user populations and controlling access to resources. Effective and scalable administration, seamless policy enforcement, and increasing compliance requirements are strong drivers for administration staffs to leverage enterprise role management (ERM) models. ERM goes beyond the basic process of simply assigning user IDs and passwords; it's about putting users into manageable roles, each with specific access privileges.

ERM is based on the principle of role-based access control (RBAC), where access is granted not only based on an individual's unique access privileges, but also on those of the roles to which the individual belongs. ERM isn't tied to a single platform, and it operates at a higher level than a single system.

Role discovery and implementation projects should be approached with a well-thought-out plan that clearly defines the project scope, assigns adequate resources, develops an architecture model, and includes ongoing lifecycle maintenance. The architecture model should define the guidelines for determining the mixture of roles, rules, and other policy constructs for a coherent implementation of security controls.
