System and method for creating role-based access profiles

摘要

System and method for creating role-based access profiles. Role-based access profiles are created from information about existing access groups for computer resources within an enterprise. In some embodiments, a user accesses a list of associates for potential use in modeling the access rights for a role. The user makes a selection of associates from the list to use in modeling access rights. These are referred to as "model associates". Existing membership of the model associates in access groups related to computer resources is evaluated and an access profile is produced based on that evaluation.
