Identity & Access Management
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Role-based access control groups permissions into roles aligned with how people work, making access easier to grant, review and audit.
Overview
What is Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)?
RBAC assigns permissions to roles and roles to users. Business roles reflect job functions; technical roles bundle application entitlements. A healthy role model reduces request volumes, speeds up onboarding and makes certifications understandable — provided it is actively maintained.
