Role-based access allows the customer to determine which resources and applications an end user has the right to use, based on the individual's job function within the company or business relationship with the company. The service can be used with any outsourced application including online publishing, financial and healthcare applications, intranets and extranets, providing a single point of contact for adding new users. SelectAccess gives us a unique privilege management offering. USDataCenters' new authorization management service lets customers tailor access to their managed applications based on corporate security guidelines. This delegation of privilege is a significant advantage of USDataCenters' secure business strategy because it allows customers' online relationships to reflect the business and security guidelines they have created in the offline world.
Access control can be administration-intensive for many service providers.
SelectAccess can help resolve this issue, and it allows customers to retain control of the security of their resources. This control gives them the confidence to outsource applications involving sensitive information such as financial transactions and healthcare records. In addition, it provides a unique automated discovery feature for populating the resource database, vastly reducing administration time. With the distinctive capability to delegate administration of users and policy to multiple levels, SelectAccess empowers USDataCenters to securely transfer these administration responsibilities to their customers thus limiting their own liability for authorization management. USDataCenters removes the responsibility and time commitment of maintaining the authorization system from customers, allowing them to remain focused on their core business.
