Configuring Role Based Access Control

AppViewX offers comprehensive support for Role and Resource-Based Access Control (RBAC). RBAC is a method of restricting AppViewX functions, network resources that can be managed and monitored in AppViewX based on the roles of individual users within an enterprise. It allows you to integrate with the existing identity stores such as Active Directory (AD) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to enforce authorization policies. Roles and resources can be customized to suit any organizational structure and user requirements.

RBAC lets employees have access rights only to the AppViewX functions and network resources they need to do their jobs and prevents them from accessing information that doesn't pertain to them.
