What is a Cornerstone recommended best practice when creating Security Roles?

A recommended best practice when creating Security Roles in Cornerstone OnDemand is to avoid replicating permissions that already exist in the default user role. This practice helps maintain clarity and manageability in security assignments. By not duplicating permissions, administrators can streamline the management of roles, making it easier to audit, update, and understand the configuration of user access rights.

Replicating permissions can lead to confusion and potential inconsistencies in security protocols, as it may create overlapping roles that complicate the assignment of clear and defined responsibilities. By using existing permissions effectively, organizations can ensure that they adhere to the principle of least privilege, minimizing unnecessary access while providing users with the permissions they specifically need to fulfill their roles.

This approach aligns with overall security strategies that favor simplicity and efficiency, enabling organizations to better protect sensitive information and ensure compliance with security policies.
