Big ACL for IAM Leaders

Big ACL for IAM Leaders

Big ACL helps IAM leaders formalize and govern access policies. It provides a single place where authorization logic can be expressed consistently and maintained over time. The focus is on making policies understandable, reviewable, and traceable across teams.

A model that business and HR teams can understand

Many access issues originate from unclear policies or from misalignment between IAM teams and business stakeholders. Big ACL uses natural language descriptions and structured modeling to bridge this gap. Policies can be written and reviewed in a form that non-technical teams can understand, while still producing machine-readable rules for enforcement engines.

This makes it easier to collaborate with HR, application owners, compliance teams, and domain leaders when defining access expectations or adjusting roles.

Clear governance and consistent definitions

Big ACL gives IAM leaders a unified view of how roles, responsibilities, and permissions are defined across the organization. This reduces the drift that happens when each system maintains its own access logic and naming conventions.

Policies become easier to audit because they follow a single structure and share the same vocabulary. IAM teams can enforce conventions around naming, ownership, and lifecycle without depending on each application team to do it correctly.

What IAM leaders gain

Big ACL complements existing IAM and IGA platforms by making authorization models explicit and maintainable.

  • Clear alignment between business roles and technical permissions.
  • Policies that non-technical stakeholders can review and validate.
  • Consistent semantics across OPA, Cedar, and internal PDPs.
  • Better long-term maintainability of role and permission structures.
