User rights management performs rights lifecycle management by systematically controlling the entire process of granting, modifying, revoking, and auditing user permissions across systems. This ensures that users have appropriate access only when needed, aligning with security policies and compliance requirements.
Provisioning (Granting Rights): When a user joins an organization or requires new access, rights management assigns initial permissions based on roles or policies. For example, a new employee in finance might receive access to accounting software and financial databases.
Modification (Adjusting Rights): As roles change, permissions are updated dynamically. For instance, if an employee moves from marketing to sales, their access to marketing tools is revoked, and sales-related systems are granted instead.
Revocation (Removing Rights): When a user leaves the organization or no longer needs specific access, permissions are promptly revoked. For example, a contractor’s access to internal servers is terminated upon project completion.
Auditing and Compliance: Regular reviews ensure permissions remain aligned with policies. Logs track changes, access attempts, and anomalies. For example, quarterly audits verify that employees no longer have access to deprecated systems.
In cloud environments, Tencent Cloud’s CAM (Cloud Access Management) service enables fine-grained rights lifecycle management. It supports role-based access control (RBAC), temporary credentials, and policy-based permission adjustments, ensuring secure and compliant access across resources.
