Authorization Matrix
An Authorization Matrix is a structured mapping of functions or actions against roles or user populations to show who may do what.
Definition
An Authorization Matrix is a modeling artifact used to represent permissions in a structured way across roles, teams, or populations. It helps organizations visualize which functions are allowed for which profiles, making it easier to define roles, identify conflicts, and challenge excess access.
The Ariovis perspective
Roles are useful when they reflect stable business responsibilities and remain governable. Ariovis avoids forcing every exception into the role model and complements roles with controlled requests or contextual authorization.
