IBM Power Systems

AIX Role Based Access Control (RBAC) with Domains

�Can reduce the cost and complexity of security administration by allowing secure delegation of administrative tasks to non-privileged users

�Enables a more secure IT infrastructure by reducing the need for so many privileged administrators

�Assigning roles to programs can reduce the need for security exposures such as the use of setuid for programs

�Allows for new ways to delegate administration duties between system administrators and non-administrative users

�A capability of AIX that allows privileged administration tasks to be delegated to non-privileged users

�Access to system resources are associated with roles that are assigned to non-privileged users

�Many roles are predefined which can reduce the effort of implementing RBAC

�Roles can also be associated with programs

�Domain access can further limit administrators to only work with resources for a particular organization (AIX 7 / 6.1 TL6)
