Move people quickly. Keep access tight.
Engineering organizations reshape themselves constantly, and every reshape leaves permissions behind. The access record is the part that has to keep up with the org chart.
“People move between squads every few months and nobody has ever taken anything away from anyone.”
Access follows the role
Production access, repository access and administrative rights defined against roles, so a move proposes both what to grant and what to remove.
On-call is a responsibility
Being on the rota is something the business depends on somebody for, with a backup and an escalation — exactly the shape of a responsibility.
Contractors are the access risk
Short engagements with deep system access are the combination most likely to leave a live credential behind.
Where to start
The responsibilities this trade has to place.
Six that almost every company in this line of work has, whether or not anybody has written them down. Each needs one owner, one backup and a way of showing it happened.
- Production deployment approval
- On-call rota ownership
- Security patching
- Access reviews
- Vendor and licence renewals
- Incident post-mortems
