Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) assigns permissions based on a user's role within an organization, making it suitable for geographically diverse workgroups where permissions need to be managed across multiple locations consistently. Rule-Based Access Control (RuBAC) applies predefined rules (such as time-based or location-based access) to determine access, making it useful for simply structured workgroups with specific access conditions.
