Specific RBAC Use Cases Where ICA Excels
New IGA Implementation
When deploying a new IGA tool with RBAC capabilities, ICA gathers complete RBAC requirements before tool configuration, reduces post-implementation surprises, and ensures role design aligns with business needs from day one.
RBAC Model Redesign
For organizations with "role explosion" or poorly designed RBAC, ICA systematically documents current state from all stakeholders, identifies redundant or conflicting roles, captures requirements for streamlined structure, and documents new role hierarchy and governance.
Application Onboarding to RBAC
When adding new applications to existing RBAC model, ICA engages application owners to define access needs, maps application entitlements to existing or new roles, documents SoD implications, and captures integration requirements.
Role Certification Process Definition
For establishing or improving role certification, ICA gathers requirements from role owners about review frequency, documents certification workflows and approval chains, captures reporting requirements, and defines exception handling processes.
Compliance-Driven RBAC Requirements
To meet regulatory requirements (SOX, HIPAA, GDPR), ICA systematically captures SoD requirements, documents role-based data access controls, ensures audit trail requirements are defined, and captures role review and recertification needs.
🎯 The Bottom Line for RBAC Stakeholders
Identity Co-Analyst transforms RBAC requirements from a painful, fragmented, 12-week ordeal into a streamlined 10-day conversation.
