Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Documentation

What is RBAC?

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a security framework that restricts system access to authorized users based on their roles. It simplifies permission management by grouping privileges into roles rather than assigning them individually.
🔒 Key Benefits:

• Centralized permission management 📋
• Reduced administrative overhead 🧑‍⚖️
• Enhanced security through role minimization 🔐

Core Components of RBAC

1. Roles - Define responsibilities (e.g., Admin, Editor, Viewer)
2. Permissions - Actions allowed (e.g., create, read, update, delete)
3. Users - Assigned to roles 🧑‍💻
4. Role Hierarchy - Inherit permissions from parent roles 🌐

Implementation Guide

1. Design Roles: Map job functions to roles
   📌 Example: Developer → Code_Deploy permission
2. Assign Permissions: Use policy files or databases
   📌 Example: /docs/permission_configuration
3. User Assignment: Link users to appropriate roles
   📌 Example: sudo usermod -aG Admin user123

Use Cases

• Enterprise applications 🏢
• Cloud resource management ☁️
• Multi-tenant systems 🏗️
