What does role-based access control in Defender PAM restrict?

Role-based access control (RBAC) in Defender PAM is designed to manage system access by assigning permissions based on a user's role within an organization. This means that individuals are granted access to resources or data depending on their job responsibilities or position, ensuring that users only have the access necessary to perform their duties. This approach enhances security by minimizing the likelihood of unauthorized access to sensitive information, as users cannot access resources that are not pertinent to their role.

Other options do not align with the principles of RBAC. For example, granting access based on user hobbies, geographic location, or random selection does not consider the user's responsibilities or the principle of least privilege, which is central to RBAC. Instead, RBAC focuses on aligning access rights with the organizational hierarchy and function, thereby creating a more secure and efficient access management system.
