Requirements:

1. User Addition and Authentication:

• Objective: Allow users (Content manager, Sales admin, Placement admin etc) to register and authenticate securely.
• Implementation:
• Multiple domain would be adding a user screen where individuals can be added using their email addresses.
• Password policies are enforced, requiring users to create strong, unique passwords and further it can be done through OTP based authorization for suspicious login.
• IP address and geo-location tracking to detect suspicious login and prevent from hacking
• Enforcing users to reset password  after 60 days for prevention of data breach.
• Auto-logout after 7 days or if the user is inactive for 72 hours

2. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):-

• Objective: Control access to different resources based on users' roles and responsibilities.
• Implementation:
• Applications define various user roles such as Content manager, Sales admin, Placement admin etc.
• Each role is associated with specific permissions and access rights. So the user will be compartmentalised accordingly.
• RBAC ensures that users only have access to the resources necessary for their roles, minimising the risk of unauthorised access.

3. Single Sign-On (SSO):

• Objective: Simplify the login process for users accessing multiple services and platforms in different domain.
• Implementation:
• Implement SSO functionality, allowing users to log in once and access multiple services without needing to re-enter their credentials.
• Integration with popular identity providers such as OpenID base enables seamless authorization across platforms.
• SSO enhances the user experience and reduces the burden of managing multiple login credentials.

4. Access Management and Authorization:

• Objective: Monitor and control access to sensitive data and resources.
• Implementation:
• Access controls are implemented at both the application and data levels to restrict unauthorised access.
• Fine-grained access policies define who can view, edit, or delete specific resources within the platform.
• Regular access reviews and audits are conducted to ensure compliance with security policies and regulations.

5. Identity Lifecycle Management:

• Objective: Manage user identities throughout their lifecycle, from onboarding to offboarding.
• Implementation:
• Automated processes handle user provisioning and deprovisioning based on predefined workflows.
• Upon joining multiple organizations or departments, new employees undergo identity verification and are provisioned with appropriate access rights based on their roles.
• When employees leave the organisation, their access privileges are revoked promptly to prevent unauthorised access. 
• Master activity log can be maintained that will help to monitor individual access

6. Security Monitoring and Incident Response:

• Objective: Detect and respond to security threats in real-time.
• Implementation:
• Continuous monitoring of user activities and access logs helps identify suspicious behaviour or unauthorised access attempts.
• An incident response plan outlines procedures for addressing security incidents, including breach detection, containment, and recovery.
• Security alerts and notifications are configured to notify administrators of potential security threats promptly.

Benefits from IAM:

• Enhanced Security: It measures ensure secure access to resources, reducing the risk of data breaches and unauthorised access.
• Improved User Experience: SSO and streamlined authentication processes enhance user convenience and productivity.
• Regulatory Compliance: IAM frameworks may help organizations comply with data protection regulations by enforcing access controls and maintaining audit trails.

Efficient Resource Management: RBAC and automated identity lifecycle management streamline resource allocation and minimise administrative overhead.
