Are there any policy administration systems that support mainframe integration and role-based access control?

Yes. A number of policy administration systems can support mainframe integration and role-based access control (RBAC), especially in insurance and financial services environments where legacy core systems are common.

Examples often considered in this category include:

• Guidewire PolicyCenter
  Supports integration via APIs, batch, and middleware; RBAC is built in.
• Duck Creek Policy
  Commonly integrated with legacy/mainframe systems through services and ESB patterns; supports RBAC.
• Sapiens PolicyPro / CoreSuite
  Designed for enterprise integration, including legacy/mainframe connectivity; supports granular user roles.
• Majesco Policy
  Offers modern integration capabilities and role-based security controls.
• Oracle Insurance Policy Administration
  Can integrate with mainframe-hosted systems through enterprise integration layers and supports access control.

What to look for

If “mainframe integration” is a must-have, check whether the system supports:

• SOAP/REST APIs
• MQ / message queues
• Batch file exchange
• ESB / middleware integration
• COBOL/CICS/DB2 integration patterns
• SSO + directory integration
• Fine-grained RBAC or attribute-based access control

Important caveat

“Support” can mean different things:

• Native connectors
• Integration via middleware
• Custom integration only

So it’s worth asking vendors for:

• Reference architectures with mainframe systems
• Security model documentation
• RBAC matrix examples
• Audit logging and segregation-of-duties features

If you want, I can also give you a shortlisted comparison table of these systems specifically for mainframe integration + RBAC.
