Role-based access control

Role-Based Access
Control

Simply set individual permissions for specific users and groups to dramatically reduce your attack surface.

What is role-based access control?

Role-based access control or RBAC is an approach to restricting system access to authorized users. RBAC is a policy-neutral access-control mechanism defined around roles and privileges. RBAC can be used to facilitate the administration of security in large organizations with many users and permissions.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) functionality allows you to assign owners and lock down access where appropriate. If you are managing many unique organizations or subsidiaries internally or for your customers, modern management tools can allow you to easily move between different instances.

Patching and cyber hygiene solutions can be very powerful tools. Automox’s RBAC controls ensure that users are only able to access the features required for their role, improving operational security within your IT organization.

RBAC goes global

Improve your cyber hygiene by specifying who has access to which systems and tools.

Full admin

A Full Admin has access to all of the features and functions in Automox. Users assigned to this role will have the ability to control your account and can manage billing, users, devices, and all patching operations. Full admins are also responsible for setting roles and permissions.

We have yet to find a piece of software that Automox has been unable to patch.

Patch admin

Patch Admin users have the ability to control your devices, groups, and policies, with read-only access to other areas of the Automox platform. Users assigned with this role type are ideal for managing specific groups of servers or just patching operations, without having the ability to manage users or settings.

Patching is a thankless, redundant job that should be automated, which is why we chose Automox.

Jared Haggerty // CEO of Databerry

Billing admin

The Billing Admin only has the ability to change billing settings. These users are responsible for adding the corporate card or generating an invoice. Billing Admin users have read-only access to other pages and cannot change your patching and policy settings.

Having all my security status data centralized in one place makes my life a whole lot less stressful.

Corey Dolan // Tekside.IO

Read only

Users assigned with Read-Only access can only see what you have configured in Automox and do not have the ability to edit any settings or configurations. Read-Only users are ideal for generating reports or checking on patching status.

It just works. The client is easy to deploy and it is easy and intuitive to configure the policies.
