Fortune 500 Transportation Company Simplifies Access Control for 175,000 Users

A Fortune 500 transportation company needed to manage access for 175,000 users across a highly distributed environment, spanning multiple systems, applications, and business units. As the organization grew, its existing role-based approach created increasing complexity, making it difficult to maintain consistent policies and enforce least-privilege access at scale.

What’s Inside

Reducing Complexity at Enterprise Scale

We examine how the organization streamlined access control to improve security, consistency, and operational efficiency across its global workforce.

Key topics include:

  • The challenges of managing access for 175,000 users across multiple systems
  • How role-based approaches led to policy sprawl and administrative overhead
  • How centralized, policy-driven authorization simplified governance and enforcement

Take a Look Inside

The Challenge: Siloed and Expanding Role-based Access

Authorization data was spread across multiple systems, often duplicated and inconsistently applied, leading to the same access request producing different outcomes depending on the source. This lack of centralization reduced consistency and visibility across the environment.

At the same time, the role-based approach experienced severe role explosion, growing from thousands of roles and user assignments to tens of thousands of groups and hundreds of thousands of assignments, making access management increasingly complex and difficult to maintain.

The Result: Externalized and Scalable Authorization

By adopting Axiomatics, the company achieved a more scalable and consistent authorization model with access control externalized from application logic and managed centrally. Policies were standardized, enabling interoperability and alignment with industry best practices.

The solution enabled a flexible, attribute-based approach that could be applied across APIs, databases, and other systems, supporting real-time, context-aware access decisions based on attributes such as user role, time, location, and risk.
