Why manage RBAC centrally?

Overview​

The Osservante RBAC Extension for Azure DevOps Pipelines enables centralised management of Azure resource groups and RBAC in code.

One git repository and one pipeline can be used to manage the creation and securing of resource groups across your entire Azure tenant.

The Osservante RBAC Extension is designed as an alternative to distributed deployment of resource groups and RBAC which may involve numerous git repositories, pipelines, methods, standards and teams.

Git Security

Note that the centralised repository and pipeline can still be used by multiple teams via pull requests and approval mechanisms.

Increased security​

By centralising the management of permissions, organizations can ensure that all access control decisions are made consistently and in line with security policies and best practices.

This reduces the risk of unauthorized access and helps to prevent data breaches.

Improved efficiency​

Centralised management of permissions makes it easier for administrators to manage access rights for large numbers of users and groups, which is especially important large organizations.

This reduces the administrative overhead associated with managing permissions and ensures that changes can be made quickly and efficiently.

Better tracking and auditing​

Centralised management of permissions enables organizations to more easily keep track of who has access to what resources, when they accessed them, and why.

This makes it easier to detect any potential security breaches and to comply with regulations that require auditing of access to sensitive data.

Consistency and standardisation​

Centralised management of permissions helps to ensure that access rights are assigned consistently across the organization.

This reduces the risk of inconsistencies that can arise when permissions are managed by multiple individuals, departments, or systems.

Scalability​

Centralised management of permissions enables organizations to easily scale their access control systems as the organization grows.

ensuring that the system can keep up with the increasing number of users, applications, and data resources.
