Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a method of managing access to resources in a system based on the roles assigned to individual users. With RBAC, permissions are assigned to roles, and users are then assigned to those roles based on their job function or responsibilities. This approach streamlines access management and enhances security by ensuring that users have access only to the resources necessary for their roles.
