How is security managed in OneStream?

In OneStream, security is effectively managed using role-based access controls. This approach allows administrators to assign specific permissions and access rights to users based on their roles within the organization. By implementing this system, OneStream ensures that individuals only have access to the information and functionalities necessary for their job responsibilities, thereby protecting sensitive data and maintaining compliance with organizational security policies.

Role-based access controls provide a way to define various user groups and the levels of access they each require. This is crucial in a collaborative environment where multiple stakeholders interact with financial and operational data. Rather than relying solely on simplistic mechanisms like basic password protection, which does not differentiate between user roles, or encryption methods that only provide a layer of data protection without addressing access control, OneStream’s approach ensures a more comprehensive and robust security framework.

This methodology not only enhances security but also aids in auditing access and monitoring user activities, making it a fundamental part of OneStream's security management strategy.
