Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) vs Role Based Access Control (RBAC)

Torsion’s ABAC is highly flexible, to fully embrace the complexity that happens when real-world organisations use Microsoft 365.

‘Pure ABAC’ assumes the organisational structure is rigid and consistent. A rule like ‘Role=Manager and Office=Paris’ assumes that everybody has exactly one role and one office. But what about when someone goes on vacation, and somebody covers for them? Or when somebody changes roles, starts their new role, but also still continues in their old role during a handover to their replacement? When it comes to collaboration, people work in multiple situations all the time.

Torsion’s accommodates temporary or permanent periods where a user may have multiple roles, assignments or circumstances (such as holiday cover, handover periods etc) and gradually ‘decays’ temporary or expiring access, resulting in access control that more accurately represents the fluid realities of organisational structures.

Torsion delivers on the promise of ABAC, within the unique constraints and requirements of Microsoft 365 collaboration systems.

Torsion delivers powerful visibility and control of ‘who has access to what’ in Microsoft 365.
