- 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.

- 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.
