What problem does it solve?

Role-based access control (RBAC) environments often suffer from role explosion and permission sprawl. This Skill helps security and IT teams derive meaningful, least-privilege roles by mining historical user-permission data, reducing complexity and enabling scalable governance.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Bottom-up and top-down role mining approaches to discover candidate roles from real access patterns.
• Formal Concept Analysis and clustering methods to group users and extract core permissions.
• Business alignment and migration planning by mapping mined roles to departments and workflows, with evaluation metrics to guide governance.
• Real-world use: normalize current permissions across AD/AWS/Azure to design a compact, auditable RBAC model and support role-based access migrations.

Quick Start

Run the Role Mining Engine on a CSV of user-permission assignments to produce mined roles and a migration plan.
