- About role-based access control
  Role-based access control uses identities with various attributes to automatically manage access control. Defining provisioning policies ensures that people in your organization always have up-to-date access permission levels. If an employee changes job title, department, or moves to a different site, the system automatically adjusts their access when their identity attributes are changed.
- Adding roles
  Before you can configure your role-based automatic access control policies, you must define your roles.
- Configuring role managers
  Role managers are composed of two distinct roles: role owners and role managers. Before you can define policies for a role or add or remove identities from a role, you must assign one or more employees as role managers.
- Configuring role-based access control policies
  To ensure that people in your organization always have up-to-date access permission levels, you can define provisioning policies that automatically assign people to specific roles based on their identity attributes. If an employee changes job title, department, or moves to a different site, the system automatically adjusts their access.
- Adding custom provisioning attributes to an identity
  When the default Genetec ClearID™ policy attributes do not meet your needs, you can manually assign custom provisioning attributes to an employees identity record. These attributes can then be used in a role-based access control policy.
- Adding role members
  To add role members who do not fit the default role-based provisioning policy criteria, you must add them manually.
- About role activity report
  In Genetec ClearID™, a role activity report is an audit trail of all activities related to roles. The report includes timestamp information, activity type, who activity was performed by, and a details section including reason information.
- Viewing a role activity report
  As an Account administrator, Role manager, or Role owner, you can view an audit trail of role-related activities such as timestamp information, activity type, who performed the activity, and more.

Adding custom provisioning attributes to an identity

2024-02-07

When the default Genetec ClearID™ policy attributes do not meet your needs, you can manually assign custom provisioning attributes to an employees identity record. These attributes can then be used in a role-based access control policy.

Before you begin

Add your roles.

What you should know

Only account administrators can add custom attributes.
Custom attributes are typically used when you import or synchronize your attributes from an external source.
The current status of custom attributes can be managed using an integration, and any that become obsolete are removed automatically.
Custom attributes can also be added or removed manually.

Some example custom provisioning attributes might include: background checks, drug and alcohol tests, NDA, safety training, site induction training, and so on.

Procedure

From the Home page, click Organization > Identities and select an identity.
Click Access control.
In the Provisioning attributes section, start typing and press enter to add your custom attributes.
(Optional) Add additional custom attributes if required.
(Optional) Click to remove any attributes that have expired or are no longer applicable.
Click Save.
