This capability is brought to you by Idea GOV-I-737

 Description

  • Least Privileged Model
    • Custom User Levels enables organizations to create custom permission sets, allowing administrators define specific roles with the right level of access.
  • Read Only View
    • With Custom User Levels, organizations are now able to create read-only views for users who need access to identities, access, entitlements, VAs, and access policies.

New Capability

Custom user levels allows administrators to delegate administrative responsibilities while supporting least privileges by providing finer grained permissions to administrative functionalities within Identity Security Cloud. Initially, our permissions focus on access objects (entitlements, access profiles, access history, and roles), identities and the VA, but we have plans to expand custom permissions to other areas of the admin experience.

Problem

We’ve heard from customers that our existing user levels could be more adaptable. In some cases, admins found it tricky to align permissions with users’ specific needs. This update adds greater flexibility and precision, making it easier to assign just the right access within ISC.
