RBAC Workshop

Overview:

Starting with AIX 6.1, Enhanced Role Based Access Control (RBAC) on AIX is the most powerful and sophisticated access control tool for AIX. Many UNIX security breaches occur because of excessive access to root.  One of the most important ways to protect your AIX environment is to lessen unnecessary root access. RBAC
provides a rich set of tools for allowing administrators to gain the access they need to do their jobs without having to grant root access. RBAC is also important for
many companies to implement in order to satisfy various regulatory standards.
