Fine-grained access enables you to exercise granular control over who is able to access what digital resources as well as what can be done to those resources once they are accessed. Fine-grained access control is about more than simply saying “User A has access and User B does not”. It is about regulating access based on need, location, time of day, access device and more, all to ensure the integrity of vital digital resources and compliance with various standards and regulations.
