What type of user groups can be defined in CyberArk EPM?

In CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM), user groups can be effectively defined based on job functions or roles. This approach allows organizations to implement a principle of least privilege by aligning access controls and permissions with the specific responsibilities that employees hold within the organization. By categorizing users according to their job functions, CyberArk EPM helps ensure that individuals have access only to the resources necessary to perform their tasks, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access or privilege escalation.

Defining user groups based on job functions also enhances operational efficiency. This structured grouping facilitates the management of permissions and the application of security policies, helping organizations maintain compliance while streamlining administrative processes. Ultimately, this method of defining groups supports a more secure environment by tailoring access to the needs of the roles rather than arbitrary criteria or characteristics, aligning with best practices in security management.
