Role management is a critical component of system security, enabling administrators to control access permissions effectively. Here's a guide to understanding and implementing role-based access control (RBAC):

🔐 Overview

  • Definition: Assigning predefined roles to users to manage permissions
  • Purpose: To ensure least privilege access and improve security posture
  • Key Concepts:
    • Roles (e.g., Admin, Editor, Viewer)
    • Permissions (e.g., read, write, execute)
    • Users assigned to roles

📋 Core Functionality

  1. Role Creation
    Define roles with specific permissions: 

    Create Role: Security_Admin
Permissions: manage_users, configure_settings, view_logs

  2. User Assignment
    Link users to roles through the User Management interface

  3. Permission Inheritance
    Roles can inherit permissions from parent roles for hierarchical management

🧩 Management Workflow

  • Step 1: Navigate to Security Center
  • Step 2: Access Role Management dashboard
  • Step 3: Configure role permissions using the visual editor
  • Step 4: Assign roles to users via the user list

🛡️ Security Best Practices

  • Regularly audit role permissions
  • Implement role separation for sensitive operations
  • Use the RBAC Tutorial for advanced configurations
