Authorization

Validation Level

A Validation Level is the degree of approval rigor required before a right can be granted.

Definition

A Validation Level is a governance concept used to differentiate approval requirements depending on the sensitivity of the requested access. Standard rights may require a simple manager decision, while critical or exceptional rights may require multi-level validation involving application owners or security stakeholders.

The Ariovis perspective

Exceptional access should be explicit, approved, time-bound and reviewed. It should not become permanent simply because the original request was never revisited.

These concepts matter most inside a real project.
