Direct effects for Operations**

- Impact on IT Operations
- Changes in user access management processes
- IT administrators will need to update existing user roles and permissions to align with the new RBAC model.
- Potential for increased workload during the transition period as roles are reassessed and reconfigured.

- Impact on IT Services

- Users may experience delays or disruptions in their ability to upload data to the EDM service if their roles are not correctly configured.
