Authorization

As a company’s “gatekeeper” Authorization is the process that determines which employees can access which company data. Advanced, fine-grained authorization solutions can apply policies to further limit authorization by factors such as time of day or user location.

Access Control Lists (ACLs) are the oldest approach to Authorization. With ACLs, an administrator matches users to resources on a one-to-one basis. Because only one characteristic, username, is used in Authorization decisions, ACLs provide coarse-grained Authorization.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) involves creating roles, assigning them permission sets, and then assigning users to the roles. This approach is much more efficient than ACLs: assigning a user a role automatically gives them the correct access rights for all resources. Likewise, adding or removing a resource to a role ensures that the change is effective for all users with that role.

Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) does not use roles. Instead, it uses multiple characteristics or attributes, such as a user’s location or the time of day to determine whether or not to allow access to a resource. For example, an ABAC solution might grant an employee access to a sensitive document during work hours, but not at 2 AM.
