The document discusses an entitlement management strategy to streamline entitlement provisioning and review processes. It proposes assigning sets of entitlements based on employee roles and enabling managers to request and review entitlements through an online system. This would address issues of over-entitlement, lack of standard processes, and managers spending days reviewing entitlements without fully understanding them. The strategy includes creating a process guide, implementing role-based entitlement sets across the enterprise, and building online review and provisioning systems to manage access rights.

Entitlements allow a user either direct access to data in a database, or indirect access through an application. Either way, they are often described in low-level technical terms instead of in business language, and not inventoried. As a result: New employees’ rights are typically modeled after existing ones because the person granting access does not know the minimum nor the limits of what is needed for a particular job. This leads to audit issues concerning over-entitlement and a lack of standard processes for assigning and managing access. Managers must regularly review entitlements at a micro-level, which can take days. Many typically sign-off without completely understanding what they’ve reviewed. Challenge Solution Name and assign sets of entitlements based on employees’ roles.
