A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for role-based privilege management is provided. A transformation request is received from a requester to form a received request, and a target environment of the received request is identified. A determination is made whether the target environment matches a predefined environment in a set of role-based privileges and, responsive to a determination that the target environment matches a predefined environment in the set of role-based privileges, the parameterized privileges from the set of role-based privileges are mapped to the target environment and the request is performed.
