Privilege management refers to the process of controlling and managing access rights and privileges granted to a given identity.
This process includes assigning roles and permissions tailored to the specific needs of each user or system.
Roles define the set of privileges associated with specific responsibilities or functions, while permissions determine the specific actions or operations that an identity can perform.
Privilege management ensures that users have only the access required to perform their tasks, while limiting access to sensitive resources and critical functionalities.
