Data Governance Role Based Access questions

Good afternoon all,
As we continue to strengthen our third party evaluations and monitoring practices, we have started to ask more 
questions regarding role based access (AAA) rather than just security. The HECVAT has a few questions regarding AAA, 
but it is pretty light.

We would like to know more about the role based security access controls available within applications / services in 
addition to the security protections in place. We are trying to understand who has access to the data we are putting 
into these systems and how they are consuming it.

Does anyone have anything they can share that would access more about access controls as part of a vendor / software 
evaluation?

Thank you
