Embracing Identity Beyond Success: A Journey Toward Inner Peace

Navigating the Fear of Professional Decline In today’s world, discussions about identity politics dominate every corner of society. We’re constantly identifying ourselves by political affiliations, beliefs, or roles: “I’m a Democrat, you’re a Republican,” or “I’m a liberal, you’re a conservative.” While these labels can be meaningful, they often overshadow deeper, personal aspects of identity.…

User Access Management: An Ultimate Guide

User Access Management (UAM) is a vital component of information security that controls who has access to what resources within an organization. By defining, managing, and monitoring user access permissions, UAM ensures that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data and systems, reducing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized activity. In this guide, we’ll cover the basics of UAM, its benefits, and best practices for implementing a robust user access management system.

What is User Access Management?

User Access Management is the process of granting, monitoring, and restricting user access to various digital resources within an organization. It includes setting up policies and procedures that determine which users have access to specific systems, applications, and data, and at what level. UAM is essential for maintaining data integrity and protecting sensitive information, as it helps enforce the principle of “least privilege,” where users are granted only the access they need to perform their job functions.

Why is User Access Management Important?

UAM plays a critical role in strengthening an organization’s security posture. Effective UAM helps:

Reduce Risk of Unauthorized Access: By limiting access rights to only those who need them, UAM minimizes the potential for unauthorized access and insider threats.

Ensure Compliance: Many regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2, mandate strict access control measures. A well-implemented UAM system helps organizations meet these compliance requirements, reducing the risk of fines and penalties.

Streamline Onboarding and Offboarding: UAM facilitates quick access provisioning for new employees and access revocation for departing employees, ensuring continuity and security.

Key Components of User Access Management

A successful UAM framework relies on various components working together. Here are the primary elements:

User Authentication and Authorization: Authentication verifies a user’s identity, often through passwords, biometrics, or multi-factor authentication (MFA). Authorization then determines what resources the authenticated user can access.

Access Control Policies: Access control policies define how access permissions are assigned. A popular method is role-based access control (RBAC), which grants access according to a user’s role within the company. There’s also attribute-based access control (ABAC), which grants access based on characteristics like location, time, or device used.

Access Review and Auditing: Regular access reviews are necessary to ensure that users still need the permissions they have been granted. Auditing provides an additional layer by tracking user activities to detect and respond to any unusual or unauthorized access attempts.

Identity Lifecycle Management: This involves managing user access from the time they join the organization to when they leave. Lifecycle management includes provisioning access, modifying permissions based on role changes, and revoking access for terminated employees.

Best Practices for Implementing User Access Management

Implementing UAM effectively requires a strategic approach. Consider the following best practices:

Apply the Principle of Least Privilege: Grant users only the minimum access required to perform their roles. This reduces the potential for accidental or malicious data exposure.

Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Adding layers of authentication improves security, especially for accessing sensitive systems.

Regularly Review and Update Access Permissions: Conduct regular audits to ensure that access permissions align with current job responsibilities.

Automate UAM Processes: Automation can streamline access provisioning, modification, and revocation, reducing human error and speeding up processes.

Educate Employees on Security Policies: User awareness training can help prevent unauthorized access attempts and phishing attacks.

Conclusion

User Access Management is essential for protecting sensitive data and ensuring secure access to organizational resources. By implementing effective UAM strategies, companies can safeguard their information, meet regulatory requirements, and minimize the risk of data breaches.

hello party people, the sizing survey is back! for real this time!!

as many of y’all know, we are a small business dedicated to creating ethically made, size inclusive clothing! and as we continue to branch out into more kinds of apparel, particularly garments that are more fitted, we need your help to ensure that our garments fit the best they possibly can.

unfortunately, publicly accessible sizing data is horrifically fatphobic and just down right inaccurate. and if our measurements are inaccurate, then the clothing we make won’t fit right. and that’s where you can help!

we want measurements from people of all sizes

all data is completely anonymous and will not be shared

we will only use this data in the pursuit of making the best-fitting garments we possibly can

take the poll here!

tattoo artist!vi who was surprised to see you walk into her parlour for the first time. she had been eyeing you since you opened your florist across the street a few days ago. how could she not? you were just so pretty in your little floral sundress, always sending her a small smile whenever you caught her eye through the tinted windows of her shop. 

vi greeted you with a smirk, letting her eyes brazenly trail down the length of your body as you made your way over to the counter. she half expected you to be shy away from her gaze, to act a little flustered. but boy, she was not prepared to see you looking straight back at her with a teasing glint in your eyes.  

“hey,” you smiled.

gosh. if she thought you were pretty from afar, you were absolutely stunning up close.

vi chuckled under her breath, leaning forward to press her palms against the counter. you mirrored her movement, resting your forearms on top of the dark wood, the sweet smell of your perfume filling her lungs.  

“how can i help you, doll?”

vi found her usual confident tone oddly strained. was she nervous? heavens, no. of course she wasn’t. the heat blooming on her face was most definitely because of the hot weather outside, and had nothing to do with the way you were staring at her through fluttering lashes.  

“i was just wondering if you had any free slots today.” 

you tilted your head in faux innocence, and vi almost scoffed out loud. she knows that you know she doesn’t accept walk-ins — it’s written in big, bold letters on the sign plastered just outside her shop. still, vi didn’t hesitate with her response.

“i’m open any time for you, cupcake.” 

two can play the game. 

tattoo artist!vi who finally led you to the inside of the parlour, sitting you down on a smooth leather chair. she was wearing a sleeveless hoodie, giving you a clear view of the intricate tattoos that painted the back of her arms. you silently thanked her for her choice of clothing, appreciating the sight of her muscles flexing when she sanitised the workspace and laid out her tools.

“so, where do you want this, pretty girl?”

you snapped out of your thoughts, clearing your throat to still your nerves. your fingers fumbled with the hem of your dress, before slowly pulling it upwards. vi sucked in a sharp breath, the intensity of her gaze making your heart thud heavily against your chest. 

“here.” you said, shaking a little as you pointed at the bare skin just below your hip bone. 

you didn’t miss the way her pupils dilated at the sight of your exposed thigh, despite your nervousness, her reaction fuelled your ego. your fingertips danced along the edge of your lace underwear, hitching it up just an extra inch so she could have full view and access to the exposed skin. 

“right… there?” 

vi’s voice was low as she pressed a medical wipe to disinfect the area with a few swipes of her hand. her wrist felt stiffer than usual, and she was trying to suppress the urge to rip off her gloves, to feel your soft skin under hers. 

“y-yeah.” you stuttered under the heat of her touch.

vi laid down the stencil, the way her hand lingered for a moment longer sent a shiver down your spine. “you nervous, princess?” 

“a little.” you swallowed thickly, not wanting to admit that her presence itself was the major contributing factor, and not the idea of needles pricking at your skin. vi placed her gloved hand onto your thigh, giving it a squeeze. the action did little in calming your racing heart.

“let me know if you need a breather, yeah?”

tattoo artist!vi who tried her best to focus on inking the design onto your delicate skin, and to not think about just how exposed you were in front of her, on top of all the other things she wished she could be doing for you instead.

she thought she was going to lose her mind when you let out a quiet whimper when her needle pierced through a particularly sensitive part of your skin. the way you clenched your fists, trying to suppress the soft sounds from bubbling up your throat — it only proved to rile her up even more.

“you’re doing so good, doll.” vi murmured.

the rough praise made your face heat up. for once, you were grateful that her head was dipped down in focus, so she couldn’t see your dreadful attempt at keeping a straight face.

tattoo artist!vi who was relieved to finally finish up your small, fine line tattoo. it was one of the quickest tattoos she has ever made, but the entire process was nothing short of pure torture.  

“does it hurt?” she asked, her voice surprisingly soft. 

you bit your lip, shaking your head. “no.” your obvious lie making a genuine laugh slip through her lips.

“aw, couldn’t handle a little tattoo, princess?” vi cooed, her gloved hand resting on your inner thigh. your muscles tensed under her lingering touch, something which didn’t go unnoticed by the pink haired woman. 

“fine… it hurt a little, okay?” you admitted, turning away at the satisfied twitch of vi’s lips.

vi laughed, her hand brushing against your jaw, gently turning your face back towards her. she down looked at you smugly, leaning across the armrest of your chair. “lucky for you, i know a few things that can make you feel better.” she drawled out, the warmth of her breath fanning over your cheek.

“what’d you say, doll?”

Another commission for @twst-charity !! Please go donate! We have both charities for organizations providing aid, and for people trying to get out of effected areas in Palestine. Any amount makes a huge difference

[northern-passage]

Interactive Fiction Community Raffle for Palestine!

Over 50 authors and artists from the Interactive Fiction community here on tumblr have come together to offer an array of prizes for a focused donation drive! We are aiming to raise as much money as possible for five families who are currently trying to evacuate Gaza. These fundraisers have been vetted by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi (thank you for your hard work!)

RULES:

You MUST donate a minimum of €5/$5 USD to one of these five fundraisers to qualify for a ticket. These are the currencies the GFMs are in (3 in euro, 2 in USD). We chose this amount because it is the minimum GFM allows and we are hoping to encourage as many donations as possible. Please be mindful that GFM does not show the conversion rate if you're donating outside your currency.

Donating once to all five GFMs will get you five tickets. And for each extra 5 you donate, you will get an extra ticket. (ie donating 10 to one GFM gets you 2 tickets, 15 gets you 3, etc.)

There are two tiers we will be pulling prizes from: one tier for writing, and one tier for art. When you submit your proof of donation, you will be asked to specify which tier you want your ticket to go towards. If you are submitting for more than one ticket, you will specify the tiers for each ticket-- you can spread them out between both tiers or put them all towards one.

You will be required to share a receipt/proof of donation via uploading a picture through google forms. We will not be handling any money. You are donating directly to the GFMs, and then showing us proof that you have done so. Please include the GFM and the amount you've donated in the screenshot you upload. We are only taking donations starting from June 7th onward.

We plan to raffle off all possible prizes using a random generator. Once the drive concludes on the 21st, we'll take a few days to gather up & organize the tickets and draw names, and then we will be in touch with winners both on tumblr and via email.

You can find the full list of contributors and prizes here.

Please understand that these prizes are pulled blind and assigned at random. You cannot pick or choose which writer/IF or artist you get. It is completely randomized. You get what you get-- even if you aren't familiar with the writer or their game. Artists and authors also have the right to refuse your request at their discretion. Please be respectful and remember that our main goal and focus here is fundraising for these families.

Abdullah Mohammed and his family

Mohammed Bardaweel and his family

Bilal Salah's family

Suad and her family

Firas Salem and his family

We encourage you to share these families and their fundraisers here and elsewhere. We're hoping by focusing our efforts we can really make a big impact for all of them.

practical writing advice part 2

part 1

get used to carrying a notebook around with you. or get used to writing on your phone. you will not always have access to your computer, but it’s much easier to take something compact with you to quickly jot down ideas. also i have chronic illness and sometimes my bones feel like lead and going upstairs to get my laptop is a herculean task, BUT i can write on my phone lying down instead of just scrolling through my camera roll and being miserable. which brings me to my next point:

if you have to choose between writing unconventionally or even unproductively and not writing at all, choose the writing. i’ve said before not to create a habit of writing in bed, but if it comes down to writing in bed or not writing whatsoever, i’ll write in bed. i just try to stretch before and after (which you should also do!!!).

you’re not wasting time or being silly by making playlists or moodboards or memes of your characters and environments. having fun with your stories outside of writing them is a good way to stay motivated.

i like to stop my writing sessions in a place where i know exactly what i want to write next, so when i pick back up i won’t be left hemming and hawing over where to begin. HOWEVER, if you’re absolutely locked in, don’t interrupt that flow state. it’ll be harder to find it again later—instead, wait until you find a natural place to stop where you haven’t run out of ideas.

“why do i have a headache 3 hours into my writing session?” because the last time you had a sip of water was 4 hours ago, you dingus! keep your drinks near your workspace while you write. and i do mean, like, a full bottle of water at least. if you’re like me, things stop existing when they leave your line of sight, so keep these beverages where you can see them and refill during bathroom breaks.

uhhh try not to think negatively about your writing while you’re doing it because when i do that i just get bummed out. “this scene is terrible” -> “oh yeah fuck it up oh yeah fuck it up” (positive reframing)

ok thanks bye

Well, I just had to replace my computer because everything phased it into obsoletion. Then just the other day I heard a big crash and found the monitor seal has somehow failed. The monitor is completely shattered. I will be getting updates to commissions as soon as I can. I had to go to Best Buy to get the files taken off the broken computer. I think for less intense files I can work on the iPad.

I realize probably everyone is a bit strapped with the holidays and everything — but if anyone wants to order icons to help me out in the meantime I’d be thankful. I’m working with the original seller now since the insurance that came with the machine won’t cover anything due to it being “technical” failure lol.

Hope everyone is doing ok and I appreciate your support and patience.
