What type of access does a Technical Rule primarily manage?

A Technical Rule primarily manages birthright access, which refers to the default permissions assigned to users based on their role, job function, or other attributes within an organization. Birthright access is essential because it ensures that users have the necessary permissions to perform their duties without requiring manual intervention for every individual user.

This type of access is typically provisioned automatically, ensuring that as users join roles, they receive the baseline level of access that is pertinent to their position, adhering to the principle of least privilege while enabling operational efficiency. In contrast to other types of access like audit access, which concerns monitoring activities, enforcement access that relates to maintaining compliance and governance, or temporary access, which is granted for specific, limited timeframes, birthright access serves as the foundational layer of permissions that align with the organization’s access control policies.
