Access Control & Identity Management

Identity Architecture​

Authentication Flow​

Role-Based Access Control​

Role Configuration​

roles:
  administrator:
    description: System Administrator
    permissions:
      - system.admin.*
      - config.manage.*
      - users.manage.*
    restrictions:
      - no_production_data_modify
      - audit_all_actions

  operations:
    description: Operations Team
    permissions:
      - system.operate.*
      - config.view.*
      - metrics.view.*
    restrictions:
      - no_user_management
      - no_system_config

  developer:
    description: Development Team
    permissions:
      - system.develop.*
      - config.view.*
      - logs.view.*
    restrictions:
      - no_production_access
      - development_environment_only

  support:
    description: Support Team
    permissions:
      - tickets.manage.*
      - users.view.*
      - logs.view.*
    restrictions:
      - no_system_config
      - no_sensitive_data

Permission Management​

Permission Structure​

permissions:
  system_level:
    admin:
      - manage_users
      - manage_roles
      - manage_config
    
    operator:
      - view_metrics
      - manage_resources
      - view_logs

  resource_level:
    applications:
      - deploy
      - configure
      - monitor
    
    databases:
      - read
      - write
      - backup

  action_level:
    create: true
    read: true
    update: true
    delete: restricted

Session Management​

Session Configuration​

session_management:
  tokens:
    access_token:
      type: JWT
      expiry: 1h
      renewal: true
    
    refresh_token:
      type: JWT
      expiry: 24h
      renewal: true

  security:
    max_sessions: 5
    idle_timeout: 30m
    absolute_timeout: 12h
    
  monitoring:
    track_location: true
    track_device: true
    suspicious_activity:
      - multiple_locations
      - rapid_requests
      - unusual_patterns

Multi-Factor Authentication​

MFA Configuration​

mfa_configuration:
  methods:
    nafath:
      primary: true
      timeout: 5m
      retries: 3
    
    otp:
      provider: internal
      length: 6
      validity: 5m
    
    device:
      type: soft_token
      validity: 30s
      algorithm: TOTP

  policies:
    required_for:
      - admin_access
      - sensitive_operations
      - configuration_changes
    
    exceptions:
      - read_only_access
      - public_api_access

Access Monitoring​

Monitoring Configuration​

access_monitoring:
  logging:
    access_logs:
      enabled: true
      retention: 90d
      fields:
        - timestamp
        - user_id
        - action
        - resource
        - result
    
    auth_logs:
      enabled: true
      retention: 90d
      fields:
        - timestamp
        - user_id
        - auth_method
        - result
        - location

  alerts:
    - name: multiple_failed_logins
      threshold: 5
      period: 5m
      action: block_ip
    
    - name: unusual_access_pattern
      type: anomaly_detection
      sensitivity: high
      action: notify_security

Best Practices​

Identity Management​

  1. Strong authentication
  2. Regular access review
  3. Least privilege principle
  4. Role-based access

Authentication​

  1. Multi-factor authentication
  2. Strong password policies
  3. Session management
  4. Token security

Authorization​

  1. Fine-grained permissions
  2. Regular policy review
  3. Access monitoring
  4. Audit logging

Security​

  1. Regular security audits
  2. Incident response
  3. Security training
  4. Documentation maintenance
