What is “Role-Based Security” in Sage Intacct?

Role-Based Security in Sage Intacct refers to a system that restricts user access based on predefined roles and responsibilities. This security model is designed to ensure that individuals can only access the functionalities and data that are necessary for their specific job functions. By assigning roles to users, organizations can manage and enforce access limits, thereby protecting sensitive information and maintaining compliance with internal policies and external regulations.

This approach enhances organizational security by minimizing the risk of unauthorized access to data and critical functions by ensuring that only those with the appropriate roles can view or manipulate specific information. For instance, a finance manager may have access to financial reports and transaction capabilities, while a junior accountant may have access only to certain data entry screens. This ensures that each user operates within their defined boundaries, promoting both efficiency and security within the organization.
