Can roles represent both automated and on-demand access functions?

Roles in SailPoint Identity Now are designed to streamline access management and can indeed represent both automated and on-demand access functions. This flexibility is crucial for businesses as it allows for efficient provision of access based on predefined rules while also accommodating specific user requests for immediate access when necessary.

Automated access typically involves predefined roles that can be assigned to users based on their job functions, ensuring that they receive the necessary access without manual intervention. This involves using policies and rules that help maintain security and compliance.

On-demand access, on the other hand, allows users to request access to certain resources or applications as needed, promoting a more agile environment where users can work efficiently without lengthy approval processes. When roles are utilized effectively, they can facilitate both types of access, thus maximizing the effectiveness of identity governance.

The other options suggest limitations or specific conditions that do not align with the broader capabilities of roles within Identity Now, which are made to support varied access scenarios to meet organizational needs comprehensively.
