Segregation of Duties Report: Overview

The Segregation of Duties (SOD) report is a tool for analyzing access rights that have been assigned to an actor, role, or security class to help ensure that conflicts do not exist. The report can assist customers in providing information about segregation of duties to auditors.

Note: Some industries and companies use the term "separation of duties" instead of segregation of duties.

You can use the segregation of duties report to answer such questions as:

Which roles include access to the Payroll application?
Which Payroll users can change salary for other users?

You can also create compound statement queries. For example: Which users have access to set up vendors and create invoices?

Customers who run the Segregation of Duties report must have a deep understanding of the applications they are querying.
