Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
An access control method that restricts system access to authorized users by assigning permissions based on their roles within an organization.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a widely used approach in Identity and Access Management (IAM) to manage user permissions.
RBAC simplifies the management of access controls by grouping permissions into roles, which are then assigned to users. This allows for a more scalable and efficient way to manage permissions across an organization.
Implementing RBAC helps to ensure that users have the least amount of access necessary to perform their job functions, adhering to the principle of least privilege and reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
