RBAC (Role‑Based Access Control)

Security

Permissions based on your role (like “admin” or “member”).

Definition

RBAC gives permissions to roles, then assigns people to those roles. You get the permissions of the role you have.

In plain English Permissions based on your role (like “admin” or “member”).

Why this matters

Why it matters: It’s easier to manage and reduces accidental over‑access to private data.

Example

Example: “Support” can reset passwords, but can’t export the full user database.
