Access Management
Granting, changing, and removing access in a traceable, role-based, and audit-ready way.
Quick overview
This page describes the working standard for Access Management – with a focus on concrete decisions rather than general guidance.
The main focus here is approval path by access type and separatelyion of owner, reviewer, and execution so that teams apply the same standard.
The standard only becomes traceable through linked evidence such as request tickets with justification and through documented edge cases/exceptions.
When this page helps
Typical situations in which this page adds value as a working document, and where another document is more appropriate.
Typical use cases
- when for Access Management an organization-wide standard with clear boundaries for role profiles and permission groups be defined
- when decisions about approval path by access type between teams are currently made differently
- when audit or internal review concrete evidence such as request tickets with justification requests
- when Exceptions in the area „Access & roles“ more often need to be handled clearly, time-limited, and governed
Less suitable when
- when Access Management only about a one-off individual case without need for standardization applies
- when a detailed project ticket or a technical step-by-step guide is the better fit
Recommended process

- Exceptions with criteria, deadlines and Re-review modellieren; frequent Edge cases about privileged accounts and admin rights explicitly abfangen.
- Evidence in the standard process verankern (at least request tickets with justification and approval logs / genehmigungen).
- review anhand realer deviations fahren and pitfalls such as „Sammelrollen wachsen without Owner weiter“ in the rule reflect back.
