Secure Delegation

Users use their own credentials to access the assigned roles and the privileges given to them – they don't get the actual key. Role configuration is locally encrypted and in your own Azure Cosmos DB. sapio365 does not require external servers to process this information - ever.

Dynamic Scopes

Unlike keeping Administrative Units up to date, you don't have to add users to sapio365 RBAC scopes.
The sets you define in sapio365 are dynamic since they are based on specific properties of users, groups or SharePoint sites.

In other words, hand over the exact level of control needed to your delegated users over specifically defined sets of users, groups, and SharePoint sites.

FAQs

The role-based access control system in sapio365 is based on permissions mapped to every action in sapio365. Create custom roles by selecting only the permissions you need to delegate.

The roles you create, the scopes and role assignments-RBAC configuration- are stored in a local encrypted database on your machine. When you connect YOUR Azure Cosmos DB account to your sapio365 license, the local database synchronizes with the one in your Cosmos DB. This allows delegated users to retrieve and take on assigned roles when they sign in to sapio365 on their own computers.
