Explanation

Role-based access control (RBAC) is a type of access control model that refers to assigning permissions to a user role based on the rules defined for each user role by the administrator. In RBAC, the administrator creates different roles and assigns them the appropriate access rights to the resources. The administrator then assigns users to those roles based on their job functions. This way, the administrator can manage the access of users to the resources without having to deal with each user individually. RBAC can simplify the administration, enhance the security, and improve the scalability of the access control system.
