Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Core ConceptsDefinition
A security approach where user access rights are assigned based on roles within an organization.
Detailed Description
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a method for regulating access to computer or network resources based on the roles of individual users within an organization. RBAC allows organizations to streamline their security policies by assigning permissions to roles rather than to individual users. When a user is assigned a role, they inherit all permissions associated with that role, thereby simplifying management of user permissions.
Key Features
- Centralized management of user rights and permissions.
- Efficiency in large-scale user and resource management.
- Roles are based on job responsibilities.
- Simplifies auditing and compliance.
