Harness's new Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) feature provides granular permissions across deployment pipelines, enhancing security and ensuring separation of duties in continuous delivery environments. It supports flexible role assignments for different organizational needs, allowing DevOps teams to manage tooling, developers to deploy with controlled access, and security teams to audit deployments for compliance. The RBAC system enables detailed permission settings for various components like applications, services, and environments, and allows actions such as create, update, delete, and execute to be mapped to these components. This ensures that duties are clearly separated, with DevOps managing pipeline creation and developers executing deployments, while executives have read-only access for oversight. Harness also offers restrictions on cloud provider and tool usage to prevent unauthorized access, with future plans to integrate support for LDAP/AD/OKTA/SAML for user authentication and group mapping, enhancing the platform's flexibility and security.
