Abstract: Access to an organization's electronic data is controlled by receiving login information for an individual, authenticating the individual based on the received login information, and granting permissions to the authenticated individual for a portion of an organization's electronic data. The granted permissions are associated with rote assignments for the individual, which role assignments are independent of any organizational structure, and may be granted to the individual for more than one role assignment based on the same authenticated login information. Further, an individual may be denied some role assignments to preclude access to certain portions of the organization's electronic data.
