| assignment (GRC-SAC) |
A value that defines the level of authorization or permission to access a resource or system. An assignment contains details regarding the requesting user, group, or object and the requested authorization, system, or permission. In an access control scenario, a user can request access to resources, systems, and role assignments, which are then sent for approval with segregation of duties (SoDs) and critical access risk analysis. The assignments are fulfilled by applying or assigning the permissions or authorization to the user in the backend system.
