Rules

A "rule set" in SOD (Segregation of Duties) refers to a collection of specific rules or policies that define the conditions under which access to certain resources (roles/applications/ entitlements) or systems is controlled. These rules are designed to ensure that users don't have access to combinations of permissions that could potentially lead to misuse or security breaches.

The rule set can be added for:

  • Roles
  • Applications
  • Entitlements

Multiple targets of role/application/entitlement can be added to the rule set without any count limitation.
