Can you group entitlements in roles?

In SailPoint IdentityNow, entitlements can indeed be grouped within roles, but specifically this grouping is most effectively done through profiles. Profiles allow administrators to define a collection of entitlements that can be applied to users based on their assigned roles. This enables a more organized and manageable approach when handling access rights, as profiles provide a way to aggregate multiple entitlements into a single reference point.

This method of grouping involves creating a profile that outlines which entitlements are included and then associating that profile with a role, thereby streamlining the access management process. It ensures that users who are assigned a particular role automatically inherit the corresponding entitlements defined in the associated profile.

While entitlements can be directly assigned to roles, this approach is more about individual assignment rather than structured organization. The ability to utilize profiles is a significant feature within IdentityNow that enhances the efficiency and clarity when managing access rights across various users and applications.
