Role model fundamentals

A role assignment combines:

1. Security principal.
2. Role definition.
3. Scope.

Governance controls

Control area	Guidance
Role baseline	Use built-in roles where possible before custom roles
Scope discipline	Scope roles to administrative units or resources when possible
Time bounds	Use privileged identity activation instead of permanent standing access
Review cycle	Recertify high-privilege assignments on a recurring schedule

Implementation checklist

• Define role taxonomy and ownership.
• Document assignment approval flow.
• Enforce activation and review controls for high-privilege roles.
• Export and review role assignment evidence regularly.
