What are Soft permitted roles?

Soft permitted roles refer to roles that are identified through role detection processes within an identity governance framework. These roles are not strictly defined by static assignments or explicit user requests but rather are dynamically recognized based on the patterns of access and permissions utilized by users within an organization.

In this context, the role detection processes analyze various attributes and behaviors related to user access to determine which roles may be beneficial or appropriate. This adaptive approach helps organizations to better manage user permissions, ensuring that individuals receive the appropriate level of access based on their actual activities and needs, rather than relying solely on predefined roles or manual assignments.

The other options encompass different concepts related to role definition and management within identity governance but do not accurately describe the nature of soft permitted roles. Roles created as part of a user’s job role typically refer to standard roles assigned without the dynamic analysis that soft permitted roles involve. Roles that require explicit user requests denote those that must be specifically asked for by the user, indicating a more rigid access approach. Finally, roles assigned for temporary access requests pertain to time-limited permissions rather than the identification process typical of soft permitted roles.
