DigitalOcean, known for its developer cloud services tailored for startups and growing digital businesses, recently announced enhancements to its role-based access control (RBAC). This system allows for managing user access within an organization by assigning permissions to roles instead of individual users.
The recent improvements include a new collection of predefined roles, designed to simplify the way DigitalOcean administrators manage access levels for users. These roles are now readily accessible through the DigitalOcean Cloud Console.
RBAC leverages identity and access management (IAM) principles, ensuring that appropriate individuals obtain the necessary access to organizational technology resources. The newly introduced predefined roles expand upon the basic existing roles of owner, member, and biller, tailored to meet the most frequently requested customer use cases.
This approach simplifies permission management and helps to enhance security by ensuring that users have only the access necessary to perform their job functions.
“Scaling your business means adding developers and other job functions to your teams, but we believe that should not mean adding complexity in managing identity and access. With our new predefined roles, you can assign privileges in a way to minimize risk, and meet audit or compliance requirements,” said Tyler Healy, CISO at DigitalOcean. “We’re excited to bring additional security and identity features that simplify cloud security, so developers can spend more time innovating.”
In the coming months, DigitalOcean will be releasing several features to strengthen its IAM offerings:
