<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">STREAMLINING ACCESS CONTROL: AN ATTRIBUTE-BASED AUTO-PROVISIONING STUDY</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">ABSTRACT:</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">Ensuring that employees have appropriate access to the data they need presents a number of</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">challenges, especially in organizations that handle sensitive records such as FERPA-, HIPAA-, and</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">PCI-regulated data. This thesis presents a practical methodology for using role-based attributes to</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">manage such access automatically, reducing administrative overhead while improving transparency</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">to data owners. Using Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi as a case study, this thesis follows</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">a real-world implementation that replaced the existing electronic forms approval process for areas</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">that agreed to collaborate on this initiative. Following an eight-phase model, access groups</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">were identified and selected for a pilot implementation. Policies were configured for automated</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">provisioning and revocation through IAM workflows. This implementation uses just two stable</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">role-based attributes (administrative location and position ID), but any number of attributes can be</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">added for more granular control. This solution reduces the bottlenecks associated with redundant</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">form-based access requests, ensures better visibility for data owners, and mitigates problems such</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; color: black;">as privilege creep and approval fatigue. While the solution does utilize software and groups specific</div>
