  • 114046 LG 1.9 LEVEL OF ACCESS AND CATEGORIES OF USERS

    User roles are a means of controlling user access to the LAN network. A user role is a property of a user account. Each user role grants a different set of permissions. More specifically, a user role defines:

    • Theresources that a user can manage. User roles define the types of resources, or objects, that a user can manage.
    • Thetasks that a user can perform

    A role defines the type of objects that a user can manage, permission and the tasks that a user can perform on those object types. A role does not define the set of specific, existing objects that the user can access.

    Permissions enable you to fine-tune your network security by controlling access to specific network resources, such as files or printers, for individual users or groups.

  • 114046 LG 1.8 INTRODUCTION

    Protection of enterprise data assets is best controlled through granular identity-based access control policy enforcement – before, during, and after a user is granted access to the network. Critical data resides in multiple places and is accessed by various users in different locations, so having per-user, location-independent policies is essential. Additionally, persistent access control policy enforcement should prevent unauthorized users from even “seeing” network, system and application resources for which they should not be accessing.

    Effective access control policy enforcement goes beyond the point at which a user connects to the network and continues to validate access is appropriate and authorized.

    Additionally, integrating access control policy decisions with policy enforcement eases administration and complexity compared to approaches that rely on managed switches or other third party devices for policy enforcement and threat containment.
