# Platform Implementer

The recognition of the platform implementer as a distinct role is a relatively recent phenomenon. The goal of the platform
implementer is to take the business requirements and translate them to the underlying technology or cloud platform to make the
organization's **enterprise, network and quota operators** and **security administrators and compliance officers** successful.

One important aspect of this role may be to bridge between the heterogenous cloud environments that are in use at the
organization to provide a homogeneous management surface to the administrators and operators. This role is more technical than the roles of the operators and administrators and will often overlap with the role of a developer.

* As a platform implementer I can provide central administration of cloud resources to my **operators and administrators**.

* As a platform implementer I can provide compartmentalization of cloud resources for delegation purposes by **operators and administrators**.

* As a platform implementer I can allow my **operators and administrators** to delegate administration of resources.

* As a platform implementer I can enable my **security administrators** to constrain the behavior of **developers** by setting guardrails.

* As a platform implementer I can enable my **security administrators and compliance officers** to enforce auditing of access policies.

* As a platform implementer I can enable my **security administrators and compliance officers** the auditing of resource access.

* As a platform implementer I can enable my **compliance officers** the setting of audit logging policies for my organization's resources

* As a platform implementer I can enable my **compliance officers** to certify the non-violation of my organization's compliance needs.
