Get started with separation of duties
Separation of duties (SOD) allows you to define rules that allow or block specific entitlement combinations for apps to avoid potential conflicts of interest.
Setup and configuration tasks
As a super admin or a user with the permissions to manage SOD risk rules and to view apps, follow this sequence of tasks to configure apps and use SOD rules with them:
