Access Control Policy

To ensure the security and integrity of data within the GFoundry Backoffice, an Access Control Policy is implemented. This policy regulates how users are assigned roles and permissions:

  • Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP): Users are granted only the permissions necessary to perform their tasks.

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Users are assigned predefined roles that limit their access to specific modules and functionalities.

  • Data Protection Measures: Only authorized users can modify or publish sensitive data, ensuring compliance with internal security policies.

  • Regular Reviews and Audits: Administrators should periodically review user roles to ensure compliance and prevent unauthorized access.

  • Access Revocation: When users change roles or leave the organization, their access must be promptly updated or revoked to maintain security.

GFoundry ensures that administrators can effectively manage different modules within the backoffice while maintaining security and operational efficiency.
