Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah types her badge and code, morning ritual at the gate
But privileges sprawl like weeds unchecked, expanding past their proper fate
The janitor queries payroll data, the intern owns admin access
While shadow accounts accumulate like digital archaeological excess

[Chorus]
Who gets in, what can they touch
When do permissions expire
RBAC and ABAC clutch
The keys to your empire
Least privilege, need-to-know
MFA guards the door
PAM protects the crown jewels stored
In vaults worth fighting for

[Verse 2]
Attributes paint the access picture, roles define the broader stroke
Context matters more than titles when the authorization spoke
Turns inside the policy engine, weighing time and risk and place
Session timeout ticks like heartbeats, measuring each user's grace

[Chorus]
Who gets in, what can they touch
When do permissions expire
RBAC and ABAC clutch
The keys to your empire
Least privilege, need-to-know
MFA guards the door
PAM protects the crown jewels stored
In vaults worth fighting for

[Bridge]
Provision with precision, review with ruthless eyes
Deprovision when they leave you, cut those digital ties
Remote tunnels need inspection, VPN logs tell tales
Account lifecycle spins eternal, where weak governance fails

[Verse 3]
Service accounts lurk forgotten, orphaned processes run wild
Quarterly reviews discover what automation has compiled
Multi-factor authentication layers shields like dragon scales
While privileged users navigate through monitored access trails

[Final Chorus]
Who gets in, what can they touch
When do permissions expire
RBAC and ABAC clutch
The keys to your empire
Least privilege, need-to-know
MFA guards the door
Account lifecycle, session core
The principles we swore

[Outro]
Access granted, access denied
In the balance, trust resides
