What are the four Role Types that can be created on the Role Management page?

The four Role Types that can be created on the Role Management page include Organizational, Business Role, IT Role, and Entitlement. Understanding these types is crucial because they play a significant role in managing access and governance within an identity management framework.

Organizational roles help align access rights with organizational structures, defining roles based on the hierarchy and needs of the business. Business Roles are typically created to capture the responsibilities and access that relate directly to specific functions or departments, ensuring employees have the necessary resources to perform their jobs effectively. IT Roles, on the other hand, are focused on technical access, defining permissions related to IT systems and their management. Finally, Entitlements represent specific access rights or permissions granted to users, which can be associated with both business and IT roles.

This classification of roles enables companies to implement a more structured identity governance approach, allowing for better compliance and control over user access, ensuring users only have what they need to perform their roles. The precise definitions of these role types also aid in ensuring clear policies and processes around access management, which is critical for security and regulatory compliance.
