Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is an important feature in our system that helps manage user permissions. This guide will walk you through the steps to configure RBAC.
Basic Concepts
Before diving into the configuration, it's essential to understand the basic concepts of RBAC:
- Roles: A set of permissions that can be assigned to users.
- Users: Individuals who require access to the system.
- Permissions: Specific actions that users are allowed to perform.
Steps to Configure RBAC
1. Define Roles
The first step is to define the roles in your system. Here's an example of some common roles:
- Admin: Full access to all features.
- Editor: Can create and edit content but cannot delete it.
- Viewer: Can only view content.
2. Assign Permissions
Once you have defined the roles, you need to assign permissions to each role. This can be done by specifying the actions that users with that role can perform.
3. Assign Users to Roles
After defining the roles and permissions, you can assign users to roles. This can be done by associating users with the roles they should have access to.
Example
Let's say you want to create a new role called "Contributor" with the following permissions:
- Create content
- Edit content
Here's how you would configure it:
# Create a New Role
To create a new role, navigate to the "Roles" section of the admin panel.
1. Click on "Add Role".
2. Enter the role name ("Contributor").
3. Select the permissions ("Create content", "Edit content").
4. Click "Save".
# Assign Users to Role
To assign users to the "Contributor" role:
1. Navigate to the "Users" section of the admin panel.
2. Find the user you want to assign the role to.
3. Click on the "Edit" button.
4. Under the "Roles" section, select "Contributor".
5. Click "Save".
